Online School & Homeschool in Corfu & the Ionian

Online school and international curriculum in Corfu

For Corfu and Ionian families — one of Greece's oldest British communities, an island economy built on the international visitor, and almost no international schooling.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Corfu and Ionian families. Corfu has carried a British thread for two centuries — cricket on the Spianada, one of Greece's oldest British expat communities, and an island economy built around tourism, sailing, and the second-home international resident. Families settle here year-round in growing numbers — British, Northern European, returning diaspora — and the island's international schooling has never followed: dedicated English-medium provision is minimal. Smartious delivers the pathways live — supplementary beside a local enrolment for resident families, the full A-Level track after gymnasio, and continuity for families whose residency sits elsewhere.

Challenges Corfu & the Ionian families face

Minimal dedicated international schooling for one of Greece's most established international residential communities.
School attendance is compulsory for resident children aged 4-15 — resident families run the supplementary configuration.
UK-bound teenagers need the A-Level track the island does not carry.
Seasonal island rhythms and travel logistics are real.
Time zone: Corfu shares EET (UTC+2) / EEST (UTC+3) — 0-1 hours behind Nairobi EAT; the same clock in summer.

Why Corfu & the Ionian families choose Smartious

The British curriculum for the island's oldest community: Corfu's British families finally get the Cambridge track locally — live, in groups of 4-6, without leaving the island.
The complete option where provision never followed: Identical live delivery across the Ionian, from Kassiopi to Paxos.
The Greek configurations, planned exactly: Supplementary beside a local enrolment through the compulsory years; the full A-Level track after gymnasio; residency confirmed by each family with its own advisers.
Built for island rhythms: Live classes plus the full recorded library — schooling that survives the season and the ferry timetable.
The same clock in summer: Corfu is 0-1 hours behind Nairobi EAT.

Greek law applies on Corfu as nationally: attendance compulsory for resident children aged 4-15, with Smartious supplementary beside the enrolment, and the full A-Level phase open after gymnasio at fifteen. Families whose legal residency remains in the UK or elsewhere follow that country's framework — a status they determine with their own advisers.

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

Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes land exactly inside the island afternoon on the 0-1 hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the season. Recorded sessions 24/7.
