Online School & Homeschool in Split
Online school and international curriculum in Split
For Split and Dalmatian families — a coast that fills with the world every summer, and empties of international schooling every September.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Split and Dalmatian families. Split is Dalmatia's capital and the Adriatic's busiest summer city — a tourism, yachting, and hospitality economy of genuinely international scale, layered since 2021 with a remote-work community drawn by Croatia's digital-nomad residence permit, and a returning diaspora that never entirely left. Year-round, that adds up to a substantial international population and almost no international schooling. Smartious delivers the pathways live across Dalmatia — supplementary beside a local enrolment during the compulsory primary years, and the full pathway after them.
Challenges Split families face
- Almost no international schooling in Dalmatia, against a genuinely international year-round population.
- Primary attendance is compulsory for resident children — the supplementary configuration carries those years.
- Digital-nomad and remote-work families need to know which country's framework applies to them, and that turns on residence.
- Tourism seasons fit poorly with fixed timetables for hospitality and charter families.
- Time zone: Split shares CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2 summer) — 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
Why Split families choose Smartious
- The complete option on a coast with none: Identical live delivery from Trogir to Makarska — the international pathway Dalmatia never had.
- Built for the season: Live classes plus unlimited recordings — schooling that survives a summer when the whole family works.
- Residency stated precisely: Which framework applies turns on where a family legally resides; we state that clearly and plan around whichever side of it you are on, while pointing you to your own advisers.
- The window after primary school: Secondary education is not compulsory in Croatia — the A-Level years run at the family's choice.
- Timezone that lands in the school day: Split is 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
The national framework applies in Split: primary education is compulsory for resident children and fulfilled through regular school attendance, so parental-choice homeschooling is not available at that level and the supplementary configuration carries those years — the enrolment holds the obligation while the Cambridge or IB track runs live alongside. The law's nastava u kući provision is a temporary, state-approved arrangement for health reasons only, and we state it factually rather than as a pathway. Secondary education is not compulsory, so from about fifteen the full pathway opens. Families here on a digital-nomad or other non-resident basis follow their country of residence's framework — a status they determine with their own advisers, and one we never blur.
In-person tuition supplementation in Dalmatia is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.
Live online via Smartious LMS, landing inside the Split school day on the 1-2 hour offset, with the full recorded library carrying the summer season.

Common questions from Split families
Are there international schools in Split?
Almost none — Croatia's international provision sits in Zagreb. Live online delivery is the complete option for Dalmatia: supplementary beside a local enrolment during the compulsory primary years, and the full pathway after them.
We are here on a digital-nomad permit — does the Croatian obligation apply to us?
The obligation attaches to children resident in Croatia. Where the residency line sits for your household depends on your permit, registration, and circumstances, and is a question for your own advisers — we state the distinction precisely and plan the education around whichever side of it you are on.
Where do Dalmatian students sit Cambridge examinations?
At authorised centres confirmed per family per session, with travel planned into exam windows ahead.
