Online School & Homeschool in Ostrava

Online school and homeschool in Ostrava

For Ostrava and Moravian-Silesian families — full international curriculum access in a city whose industrial transformation has run far ahead of its international school provision.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Ostrava families. Ostrava — the Czech Republic's third city — is a generation into one of Central Europe's most visible post-industrial transformations, from steel and coal into IT services, engineering, and advanced manufacturing, with VSB-Technical University of Ostrava anchoring the research base. The international corporate population has grown accordingly; dedicated international school provision has not, remaining the thinnest of any major Czech city. Smartious extends full Cambridge, IB, and American curriculum access across Ostrava and the wider region, live.

Why Ostrava families choose Smartious

Fills the country's clearest structural gap: A major city and region with almost no dedicated international provision. Live online delivery is not an alternative here — for most families it is the only complete international-curriculum route.
One provider across a polycentric region: Ostrava, Havirov, Frydek-Mistek, and Opava families use the same live delivery without a cross-region commute.
Dual-track during the compulsory years, then unconstrained: Grades 1-9 alongside the Czech half-yearly exams; after 15, no Czech requirement.
Live teaching right through A-Level: Every class live, real-time, taught by a subject specialist.
CET/CEST timezone alignment: Nairobi EAT is only 1-2 hours ahead of Ostrava.

Individualni vzdelavani under s.41 applies in Ostrava as nationally. During grades 1-9: director approval, counselling opinion, tiered educator qualification, half-yearly prezkouseni at the school of enrolment. After grade 9 no Czech requirement remains. Smartious runs the Cambridge track alongside, then as the complete programme — particularly valuable in a region where local international options are scarcest.

Premium tier includes optional in-person home tuition supplementation for Ostrava families during examination preparation periods, subject to associate teacher availability.

Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes scheduled to land within the local school day given the 1-2 hour EAT/CET-CEST offset. Recorded sessions 24/7.

Ostrava shares the Czech CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2 summer) timezone, 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
