Online School & Homeschool in Mandalay

Online school and international curriculum in Mandalay

For Mandalay families — the second city and its trading tradition, with a fraction of Yangon's international provision.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Mandalay families. The second city sits at the centre of the country's trade routes and its historic cultural life — crafts, gemstones, textiles and the agriculture of the central dry zone, alongside a long university tradition. It is a substantial commercial and academic population, and international school provision here is a fraction of Yangon's, six hundred kilometres south. Live delivery reaches Mandalay identically, in after-school and evening hours that fit our teaching day.

Challenges Mandalay families face

International provision is a fraction of Yangon's, six hundred kilometres south.
A substantial commercial and academic population with few local options.
Basic education is compulsory and administered by the Ministry of Education.
We could not verify Myanmar's position on parental home education.
Time zone: Myanmar runs UTC+6:30 — after-school and evening slots work well.

Why Mandalay families choose Smartious

The complete option six hundred kilometres from the tier: Identical live delivery in Mandalay and Yangon — no relocation and no boarding decision.
Business and economics for a trading city: Cambridge A-Level Economics, Business, Accounting and Mathematics suit families who have run central Myanmar's commerce for generations.
After-school hours that genuinely work: A six o'clock class in Mandalay is half past two for our teachers — squarely in our teaching day.
Chinese kept as an examined subject: Cambridge Chinese runs alongside the English-medium core, which suits the city's long trading connections.
Honest about the legal gap: We could not verify Myanmar's home-education position and say so.

The national picture applies in Mandalay: education is administered by the Ministry of Education, basic education is compulsory at the primary level, and private schools operate with ministry registration. We could not verify Myanmar's position on parental home education against a primary instrument and decline to characterise it in either direction — confirm with the Ministry of Education directly, noting that an absence of clear regulation is an absence of protection rather than a permission. Smartious is not a registered Myanmar school, issues no Myanmar qualification and does not teach toward the matriculation examination. Our arrangement is live international teaching alongside a Myanmar school enrolment.

Smartious delivers to Mandalay families online; the live programme is complete without in-person supplementation.

Live online via Smartious LMS in after-school and evening blocks, with every session recorded.
