Online School & Homeschool in Gjilan & the East
Online school and international curriculum in Gjilan
For Gjilan and eastern families — the regional centre of the east, with every international school an hour or more away.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Gjilan and eastern families. Gjilan anchors Kosovo's east — a regional trade and light-manufacturing centre with university faculties, a young population, and corridors running toward North Macedonia and Serbia that shape its commerce. It is also, in schooling terms, on the wrong side of the country: everything international sits in Prishtina, an hour or more west. For eastern families whose children are aiming beyond the region — and for a diaspora that returns every summer — live delivery is the practical answer. Smartious runs supplementary alongside your school enrolment during the compulsory grades, and full-time through the voluntary upper-secondary years.
Challenges Gjilan & the East families face
- No international schooling in the east, with Prishtina an hour or more west.
- Grades 1 to 9 are compulsory; the supplementary configuration carries those years.
- Trade and manufacturing families with cross-border commerce and no matching English-medium schooling.
- Exam sittings mean Prishtina windows, planned ahead.
- Time zone: Gjilan shares CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2 summer) — 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
Why Gjilan & the East families choose Smartious
- The complete option on the far side of the country: Identical live delivery in Gjilan and Prishtina — no relocation, no boarding decision.
- Computing and business depth for a trading region: Cambridge A-Level Computer Science, Economics, and Mathematics suit the families who run the east's commerce.
- Built for the diaspora return: A child coming back mid-curriculum keeps one internationally examined pathway instead of restarting.
- The law stated before anything is sold: Grades 1 to 9 are compulsory; we run supplementary alongside your enrolment and reserve the full pathway for the voluntary upper-secondary years.
- Timezone that lands in the school day: Gjilan is 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
The national framework applies in Gjilan: grades 1 to 9 are compulsory under the Law on Pre-University Education, and we are not aware of an established parental-choice home-education route — a position to confirm with MASHTI and the municipal education directorate. The supplementary configuration carries the compulsory grades, and upper secondary is voluntary so the A-Level years sit outside the obligation.
In-person tuition supplementation in the east is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.

Common questions from Gjilan & the East families
Can families in the east realistically run an international pathway?
Yes — the teaching is identical to Prishtina's, delivered home, and only examination sittings require travel, planned into Prishtina windows a few times a year.
Where do Gjilan students sit Cambridge examinations?
At authorised centres confirmed per family per session, typically Prishtina windows planned ahead.
