Online School & Homeschool in Kumasi
Online school and Cambridge tutoring in Kumasi
For Kumasi and Ashanti families — Ghana's second city, its great technical university, and a fraction of Accra's international provision.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Kumasi families. Kumasi is the Ashanti capital and Ghana's second city — home to KNUST, one of West Africa's most significant technical universities, and to a gold, timber, and trading economy that has made it the commercial heart of the interior for centuries. Its academic community is substantial and its international schooling is thin relative to its size, with Accra's tier four hours south. Smartious delivers live small-group Cambridge and IB teaching across Ashanti, alongside your school enrolment.
Challenges Kumasi families face
- Thin international schooling for a city of Kumasi's size and academic weight.
- Accra's tier is around four hours south — a relocation decision rather than a commute.
- Education at the basic level is free, compulsory and universal under the Education Act, 2008.
- Exam sittings mean Accra or regional windows, planned ahead.
- Time zone: Kumasi shares GMT (UTC+0), three hours behind Nairobi EAT, fixed all year.
Why Kumasi families choose Smartious
- The complete option four hours from the tier: Identical live delivery in Kumasi and Accra — no relocation, no boarding decision.
- Engineering and pre-medical depth for a KNUST city: Cambridge A-Level Mathematics, Further Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry — the exact spine an engineering and medical academic community aims at.
- Cambridge alongside the WASSCE route: The school keeps the national track; we add the subjects overseas applications need.
- Small groups, not a lecture: Every Smartious class is live in groups of 4-6, which is the opposite of the large-cohort teaching most Kumasi students know.
- Honest about the clock: Ghana is three hours behind Nairobi, fixed. Late-afternoon Kumasi classes sit in our evening block; morning slots suit full-time students.
The national framework applies in Kumasi: education at the basic level is free, compulsory and universal under section 2 of the Education Act, 2008, and we are not aware of an established parental-choice home-education route under that Act — a position to confirm with the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service. Pre-tertiary schools are subject to licensing and inspection requirements, and Smartious is not a licensed Ghanaian school; we work alongside yours. The supplementary configuration therefore carries the school years, with the Cambridge or IB track running live alongside toward external examinations.
Smartious delivers to Ashanti families online; the live programme is complete without in-person supplementation.
Live online via Smartious LMS on the fixed three-hour offset — late-afternoon Kumasi classes in our evening block, morning slots for full-time students, every session recorded.

Common questions from Kumasi families
Is there international schooling in Kumasi?
Thin relative to the city's size and academic weight — the deep tier is in Accra, around four hours south. Live online delivery is the complete option for Ashanti.
Our child is at KNUST's feeder schools and doing WASSCE — can Cambridge run alongside?
Yes, and it is the common shape here: the school keeps the national route while we teach two or three Cambridge subjects live for overseas applications.
Where do Kumasi students sit Cambridge examinations?
At authorised centres confirmed per family per session, with travel planned into each series ahead.
