Online School & Homeschool in Enugu

Online school and homeschooling in Enugu

Live online British and American curriculum for families in Independence Layout, GRA, New Haven and Trans-Ekulu.

Enugu families who want a British curriculum often look to boarding schools or other cities. Smartious offers IGCSE, A Level and the American curriculum live online at home in Enugu, in the West African morning, with WAEC or NECO preparation for families who want both routes. Families in the diaspora with relatives in Enugu also use us to keep a child's schooling steady during long stays.

Challenges Enugu families face

• Few British-curriculum day schools, so families consider boarding elsewhere.
• Diaspora families who spend long periods in Enugu need schooling that continues.
• Families want IGCSE or A Level plus WAEC or NECO.
• IGCSE exam entries usually mean travelling to a British Council venue in another city.

Why Enugu families choose Smartious

• International curriculum at home: IGCSE and A Level in Enugu without boarding.
• Lessons in the Enugu morning: Nigeria is on West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1), two hours behind our teachers in Nairobi. A lesson at 10:00 in Nairobi is at 08:00 in Lagos, so most live lessons fall in the Nigerian morning and early afternoon, and every lesson is recorded.
• Both routes kept open: Many Nigerian families want both routes: IGCSE or A Level for universities abroad, and WAEC (WASSCE for private candidates) or NECO for Nigerian universities. JAMB runs the UTME and Direct Entry. Some Nigerian universities, including UNILAG, consider IGCSE and A Level results, but requirements differ by university and course and may need equivalency, so check with the university and JAMB before relying on one route.
• Exam entries planned early: Cambridge IGCSE and A Level, and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and A Level, are taken as a private candidate. In Nigeria, private-candidate entries are made through British Council Nigeria, which runs exams in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Entry deadlines fall months before each series, so check the British Council Nigeria website for the current dates, venues and fees. Enugu families should plan travel to the nearest venue for their series.
• Clear fees: From USD 423/month for Primary (≈ ₦656,000 at about ₦1,550/USD, Oct 2026 rate), payable termly. One-to-one tuition is USD 15/hour. Payments are made through Paystack, which Nigerian families commonly use with naira cards and bank transfer. Admissions confirms the invoice currency and amount with you before you pay.

Nigeria is on West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1), two hours behind our teachers in Nairobi. A lesson at 10:00 in Nairobi is at 08:00 in Lagos, so most live lessons fall in the Nigerian morning and early afternoon, and every lesson is recorded. A backup power source helps.

Enugu families want international qualifications without boarding, and diaspora families want continuity during long visits home.

Common questions from Enugu families

What does it cost?

Online school is from USD 423/month for Primary (≈ ₦656,000/month at about ₦1,550/USD, Oct 2026 rate; the naira fluctuates), payable termly. Secondary, IGCSE, A Level and IB fees vary by curriculum and level. One-to-one tuition is USD 15/hour (≈ ₦23,000).

Where would my child sit IGCSE exams?

Cambridge IGCSE and A Level, and Pearson Edexcel International GCSE and A Level, are taken as a private candidate. In Nigeria, private-candidate entries are made through British Council Nigeria, which runs exams in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Entry deadlines fall months before each series, so check the British Council Nigeria website for the current dates, venues and fees.

Can we combine IGCSE with WAEC or NECO?

Many Nigerian families want both routes: IGCSE or A Level for universities abroad, and WAEC (WASSCE for private candidates) or NECO for Nigerian universities. JAMB runs the UTME and Direct Entry. Some Nigerian universities, including UNILAG, consider IGCSE and A Level results, but requirements differ by university and course and may need equivalency, so check with the university and JAMB before relying on one route.

Is homeschooling legal in Nigeria?

The Universal Basic Education Act requires that every child receives basic education. Homeschooling is practised in Nigeria, and how it should be recognised has been debated, including in the National Assembly. The law does not set out a clear registration process, so families should seek advice on their own situation. We provide timetables, reports and exam entries that families can show if asked about their child's education.

How do we pay and contact you?

Payments are made through Paystack, which Nigerian families commonly use with naira cards and bank transfer. Admissions confirms the invoice currency and amount with you before you pay. Admissions: +254 745 021 212 (call or WhatsApp). Academic office: +254 182 071 920. Email: hello@smartioushomeschool.com.
