Online School & Homeschool in Olomouc

Online school and homeschool in Olomouc

For Olomouc and Hana-region families — a historic university city with an international academic population and minimal dedicated international school provision.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Olomouc families. Olomouc is one of Central Europe's great historic university cities — Palacky University, founded 1573, is the second-oldest in the Czech lands and today anchors a substantial international academic, research, and medical community, alongside a growing services and IT base. Dedicated international school provision, however, is minimal — the sharpest mismatch between an international population and local schooling of any Czech university city. Smartious extends full Cambridge, IB, and American curriculum access across Olomouc and the Hana region, live.
