Online School & Homeschool in Rustavi

Online school and homeschool in Rustavi

For Rustavi and Kvemo Kartli families — the industrial city thirty minutes from Tbilisi's international tier, and entirely outside it.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Rustavi families. Rustavi is Georgia's industrial city — metallurgy and chemicals on the Mtkvari, Kvemo Kartli's regional capital, thirty minutes down the highway from Tbilisi's international-school tier and entirely outside it: the commute or the fees close that door for most Rustavi households. Smartious opens a different one — live international curriculum delivered home, supplementary beside a local enrolment, through the eksternati route, or as the full A-Level pathway after grade ten.

Challenges Rustavi families face

Thirty minutes from Tbilisi's tier — and outside it: the commute or the fees close the door for most families.
The national framework applies as everywhere: compulsory through grade ten since 2024, eksternati through the territorial bodies, the state track in Georgian.
Time zone: Rustavi shares UTC+4 — one hour ahead of Nairobi EAT year-round.

Why Rustavi families choose Smartious

The tier's quality without the commute or the fees: Live small-group Cambridge teaching delivered to Rustavi homes from USD 5,076/year.
Chemistry worthy of an industrial city: Cambridge A-Level Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics — led by a founder with a BEd in Mathematics and Physics — suit the plant city's families exactly.
The framework planned to the current law: Compulsory through grade ten since 2024, eksternati arrangements documented, Georgian preparation all year.
The window after grade ten: Secondary school is optional — the A-Level years run at the family's choice, with Tbilisi sittings half an hour away.
A timezone that lands after school: Rustavi is one hour ahead of Nairobi — live teaching lands in the late afternoon.
