Online School & Homeschool in Lankaran & the South

Online school and homeschool in Lankaran

For Lankaran and southern families — the subtropical Caspian south, a border-trade economy, and the country's international tier a full day away.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Lankaran and southern families. Lankaran is the capital of Azerbaijan's subtropical south — tea and citrus country on the Caspian, a cross-border trade economy at the Astara gateway, and a university city serving the whole region. The country's international-school tier is a full day away in Baku. For the south's professional and internationally minded families, live delivery is the only complete option — under the lawful home-education framework, beside a local enrolment, or as the full A-Level pathway after grade nine.

Challenges Lankaran & the South families face

The country's entire international tier is a full day away in Baku.
The lawful home-education framework applies as nationally: state standards, Ministry-supervised examinations, local arrangements.
The state track runs in Azerbaijani — dual-track families plan language preparation all year.
Exam sittings mean Baku windows, planned well ahead.
Time zone: Lankaran shares AZT (UTC+4) — one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT year-round.
