Online School & Homeschool in Gudauri & the Mountains

Online school and homeschool in Gudauri and the Georgian mountains

For Gudauri, Kazbegi, and mountain families — the Caucasus resort belt's international community, served live at any altitude.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for families across Gudauri, Kazbegi, and Georgia's mountain belt. The high Caucasus runs a genuinely international economy — Gudauri's ski season draws instructors, operators, and resort families from across the world; Kazbegi's year-round tourism supports a growing lifestyle community that moved for the mountains and kept remote careers. Schooling infrastructure at altitude is what you would expect: none. Smartious delivers the pathways live — with a rhythm built for the season, under every lawful configuration of the Georgian framework.

Challenges Gudauri & the Mountains families face

No schooling infrastructure at altitude for a genuinely international resort-belt community.
Ski-season rhythms are the exact opposite of the school calendar.
The national framework applies as everywhere: compulsory through grade ten since 2024, eksternati through the territorial bodies.
Exam sittings mean Tbilisi windows — two hours down the Military Highway, planned around the season.
Time zone: the mountains share UTC+4 — one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT year-round.

Why Gudauri & the Mountains families choose Smartious

The complete option at any altitude: Identical live delivery from Gudauri to Stepantsminda — the schooling infrastructure the mountains never had.
Built for the season: Live classes plus the full recorded library — schooling that survives the ski season, in exactly the pattern our Alpine and Nordic resort families run.
The framework planned to the current law: Compulsory through grade ten since 2024, eksternati arrangements documented, Georgian preparation all year.
The window after grade ten: Secondary school is optional — the A-Level years run at the family's choice.
A timezone that lands after school: The mountains are one hour ahead of Nairobi — live teaching lands in the late afternoon.

The national framework applies at altitude: the eksternati route through the Ministry's territorial bodies, supplementary study beside any enrolment, Georgian preparation all year — with a live-plus-recorded rhythm that fits the ski season, and the A-Level phase free after grade ten.

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

Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes land in the local late afternoon on the +1 hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the season. Recorded sessions 24/7.

Georgia's high Caucasus runs an international economy — Gudauri's ski season and Kazbegi's year-round tourism drawing a global workforce and a growing lifestyle community — with no schooling infrastructure at altitude, and the national framework applying identically on the Military Highway. The mountains share UTC+4, one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT.
