Online School & Homeschool in Budva & the Riviera

Online school and international curriculum in Budva

For Budva and Riviera families — the coast that fills every summer and empties of schooling every September.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Budva and Riviera families. Budva is Montenegro's tourism capital — Sveti Stefan, Bečići, Rafailovići, and a season that draws visitors from across Europe and the region into a town whose permanent population is a fraction of its August one. Behind the season sits a growing year-round international community: hospitality and property businesses, second-home owners, and families who arrived for a summer and stayed. International schooling on the Riviera does not exist. Smartious delivers the pathways live along the coast, with a rhythm built for the season and Montenegro's framework explained properly.

Challenges Budva & the Riviera families face

No international schooling on the Riviera, despite a growing year-round international community.
A summer season that runs the whole household from May to September.
Home education is permitted by exception for a semester or a school year at a time — it is not open-ended.
Second-home and residence-permit families need to know which framework applies, and that turns on residence.
Time zone: Budva shares CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2 summer) — 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.

Why Budva & the Riviera families choose Smartious

The complete option on a coast with none: Identical live delivery from Petrovac to Bečići — the international pathway the Riviera never had.
Built for a five-month season: Live classes plus unlimited recordings hold the academic year together when the whole family works from May to September.
The framework explained properly: Home education by exception for a semester or a year, with checks at the end of the cycle; supplementary alongside an enrolment where that is simpler.
Residency stated precisely: Which framework applies turns on where a family legally resides — a question we send to your own advisers while planning the education either way.
Timezone that lands in the school day: Budva is 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.

The national framework applies on the Riviera: primary education is compulsory from six to fifteen, and by exception a parent may organise the child's primary education at home for one semester or one school year, with the school keeping records and the knowledge check falling at the end of the cycle. For hospitality families the semester framing can suit the season unusually well, though the supplementary configuration alongside a local enrolment remains the simplest arrangement for most. Families resident elsewhere follow their country of residence's framework, a status they determine with their own advisers.

In-person tuition supplementation on the Riviera is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.

Live online via Smartious LMS, landing inside the local school day on the 1-2 hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the summer season.
