Online School & Homeschool in Juffair

Online school in Juffair

Live American and British curriculum for Juffair, Um Al Hassam and Adliya families, built to continue when a posting ends or moves.

Juffair is Bahrain's most transient neighbourhood. Apartment towers house families on naval, defence-contractor, banking and hospitality postings, many of them in Bahrain for one to three years and some with only weeks' notice of a move. What these families need from a school is continuity: a curriculum their child can carry to the next posting, and a school that does not end when the lease does. Smartious teaches the American curriculum with AP, and Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel, live on Bahrain time, and enrolment moves with the family.

Challenges Juffair families face

Postings that start or end mid-year, with little notice.
Families who want an American curriculum and AP courses, but cannot be sure of a place at a school near Juffair.
Short leases and frequent moves between Juffair, Um Al Hassam and Amwaj.

Common questions from Juffair families

What happens to my child's school if we are posted elsewhere?

Nothing changes: lessons are online, so your child keeps the same teachers, timetable and records. If the new country is in a different time zone, we review the timetable with you.

Do you issue an American high school diploma?

No. Smartious teaches the American curriculum with AP courses, but it is not a US-accredited school and does not issue a US diploma. AP exam scores are reported by the College Board and are widely used by US universities. If your child needs a US diploma, we will tell you at assessment.

Is Smartious an accredited school?

Smartious is a Cambridge International registered school and a Pearson Edexcel approved centre, teaching to the current Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel syllabuses. Certificates are issued by Cambridge and Pearson, the same as for students at any other school.
