Online School & Homeschool in Cusco & the Sacred Valley

Online school and international curriculum in Cusco

For Cusco and Sacred Valley families — one of the most visited places on earth, with an international community and no international school.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Cusco and Sacred Valley families. Cusco anchors one of the largest tourism economies in South America — the Machu Picchu corridor, the Sacred Valley, and a hospitality and adventure sector that draws owners, managers, and guides from across Europe, North America, and Latin America, many of whom settle. The Camisea gas corridor runs across the wider region. What none of it produced is international schooling: for that, families look to Lima, a flight away. Smartious teaches live to the valley in the Peruvian morning, alongside a school.

Challenges Cusco & the Sacred Valley families face

A genuinely international resident community with no international schooling in the region.
A tourism season that shapes the household for much of the year.
Families spread across the city, the valley, and the corridor towns.
Educación básica regular is compulsory; the supplementary configuration carries those years.
We teach eight hours ahead, so our classes land in the Peruvian morning.

Why Cusco & the Sacred Valley families choose Smartious

The complete option where none exists: Identical live delivery in Cusco and Lima — no relocation, no boarding decision.
Built for a tourism season: Live morning classes plus unlimited recordings hold the academic year through the busiest months.
Geography, history and environmental science that fit the place: The Sacred Valley and the Andes make unusually good context for Cambridge Geography and History and AP Environmental Science.
Reaches the valley, not just the city: Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac get identical live teaching.
Morning classes that fit the turno tarde: Our block lands in the Peruvian morning, free for every afternoon-shift student.

The national framework applies in Cusco, administered through the regional DRE and local UGEL: educación básica regular is compulsory under Ley 28044, educación a distancia is recognised as a modality of the system with its application a matter for MINEDU and the UGEL, and we are not aware of an established parental-choice home-education route — confirm with MINEDU and your UGEL. International residents who remain registered elsewhere follow their country of residence's framework, a status they determine with their own advisers. Smartious is not an authorised Peruvian institution.

Smartious delivers to Cusco families online; the live programme is complete without in-person supplementation.

Live online via Smartious LMS in the Peruvian morning on a fixed eight-hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the tourism season.

Cusco anchors one of the largest tourism economies in South America — the Machu Picchu corridor and the Sacred Valley — with an international hospitality and resident community and the Camisea gas corridor across the wider region, and no international schooling anywhere in it. Peru runs PET (UTC-5), eight hours behind Nairobi.
