Online School & Homeschool in Lviv

Online school and homeschool in Lviv

For Lviv families across central historic district, Sykhiv (residential), Halych district, plus SoftServe HQ (13,000+ pre-war employees, one of Ukraine's largest tech employers) + EPAM Ukraine + Intellias + N-iX + Sigma Software tech corporate families and internally displaced families from eastern Ukraine seeking safer environments.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, A-Level, Pearson Edexcel, IB Diploma, American AP, and Ontario OSSD for Lviv families in western Ukraine. Lviv (approximately 720K city, ~1 million metropolitan region) is western Ukraine's cultural and technological capital. Lviv hosts SoftServe HQ (13,000+ pre-war employees, one of Ukraine's largest tech employers), EPAM Ukraine operations, Intellias, N-iX, Sigma Software, and other major tech corporate presence. Lviv is home to Ukrainian Catholic University (a leading Ukrainian humanities university) and Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (Ukraine's oldest, founded 1661). Since February 2022, Lviv has become a major destination for internally displaced Ukrainian families from eastern regions seeking relative safety, plus tech corporate relocations. Pre-war international school presence in Lviv was more limited than Kyiv; the war has increased demand for online international curriculum options.
