Online School & Homeschool in Rhodes & the Dodecanese
Online school and international curriculum in Rhodes
For Rhodes and Dodecanese families — a year-round international economy at the Aegean's edge, with no international school in the island group.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Rhodes and Dodecanese families. Rhodes anchors the Dodecanese — one of the Mediterranean's great tourism economies, running closer to year-round than most of island Greece, with a hotel and hospitality industry of international scale and a growing international residential community behind it. Schooling has never followed: there is no international school in the island group, and the mainland is a flight away. Smartious delivers the pathways live across the Dodecanese — supplementary beside a local enrolment for resident families, the full A-Level track after gymnasio, and continuity for families whose residency sits elsewhere.
Challenges Rhodes & the Dodecanese families face
- No international school in the Dodecanese — and the mainland a flight away.
- A hospitality economy of international scale with a growing year-round international community.
- School attendance is compulsory for resident children aged 4-15 — resident families run the supplementary configuration.
- Season and flight logistics shape every plan.
- Time zone: Rhodes shares EET (UTC+2) / EEST (UTC+3) — 0-1 hours behind Nairobi EAT; the same clock in summer.
Why Rhodes & the Dodecanese families choose Smartious
- The complete option for an island group without one: Identical live delivery from Rhodes Town to Karpathos — no relocation, no boarding decision.
- Built for the hospitality year: Live classes plus the full recorded library — schooling that survives the high season.
- The Greek configurations, planned exactly: Supplementary beside a local enrolment through the compulsory years; the full A-Level track after gymnasio.
- Live teaching, small groups: Every Smartious class is live, real-time, in groups of 4-6.
- The same clock in summer: Rhodes is 0-1 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
Greek law applies in the Dodecanese as nationally: attendance compulsory for resident children aged 4-15, with Smartious supplementary beside the enrolment, and the full A-Level phase open after gymnasio at fifteen. Families whose legal residency sits elsewhere follow that country's framework — a status they determine with their own advisers.
In-person tuition supplementation in the Dodecanese is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.
Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes land exactly inside the island afternoon on the 0-1 hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the season. Recorded sessions 24/7.
