Online School & Homeschool in Katowice (Silesia)

Online school and homeschool in Katowice and Silesia

For Katowice and Silesian families — full international curriculum access in a 2-million-plus metropolis whose business-services growth has far outpaced its international school provision.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Katowice and Silesian families. The Katowice conurbation — the Gornoslasko-Zaglebiowska Metropolis — is a region of over two million people undergoing one of Europe's most significant post-industrial transformations, from coal and steel into business services, tech, and advanced manufacturing, drawing a growing international corporate population. Yet Silesia has the thinnest dedicated international school provision of any major Polish conurbation relative to its size — a genuine structural gap. Smartious extends full Cambridge, IB, and American curriculum access across the entire metropolis alongside the patron-school ecosystem.

The annual Polish classification exams at the patron school continue through age 18.
