Online School & Homeschool in Kutaisi
Online school and homeschool in Kutaisi
For Kutaisi and Imereti families — the western capital with an English-taught international university and no international school before it.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Kutaisi families. Kutaisi is western Georgia's historic capital — and home to the country's boldest higher-education project: Kutaisi International University, English-taught and internationally partnered, drawing students the region's schools were never built to prepare. The city's low-cost airport hub connects Imereti to Europe daily; its school-level international provision is essentially absent. Smartious closes the gap live — the pathway that actually prepares students for English-taught university study, delivered to the west under every lawful configuration.
Challenges Kutaisi families face
- No school-level international provision in a city whose flagship university teaches in English.
- The national framework applies as everywhere: compulsory through grade ten since 2024, eksternati through the territorial bodies, the state track in Georgian.
- Exam sittings typically mean Tbilisi windows, planned ahead.
- Time zone: Kutaisi shares UTC+4 — one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT year-round.
Why Kutaisi families choose Smartious
- The preparation the English-taught university city lacked: A live Cambridge pathway is precisely the schooling KIU's English-taught programmes assume — delivered to the west for the first time.
- STEM depth for a technical university town: Cambridge A-Level Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science — led by a founder with a BEd in Mathematics and Physics — feed KIU's and UCAS's programmes alike.
- 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: Kutaisi is one hour ahead of Nairobi — live teaching lands in the late afternoon.
The national framework applies in Kutaisi: the eksternati route through the Ministry's territorial bodies, supplementary study beside any enrolment, Georgian preparation all year — and the A-Level phase free after grade ten, feeding KIU's English-taught programmes and UCAS alike.
In-person tuition supplementation in Imereti is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.
Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes land in the Kutaisi late afternoon on the +1 hour offset. Recorded sessions 24/7.
Kutaisi is western Georgia's capital and home to Kutaisi International University — the country's English-taught flagship — with a daily-Europe airport hub and essentially no school-level international provision to prepare students for either. Kutaisi shares UTC+4, one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT.
