Frequently asked questions
Can Smartious teach Tennessee homeschool students across all 3 legal pathways?
Yes. Tennessee offers three homeschool pathways: Independent (file with school district), Church-Related Umbrella (used by 60% of TN homeschoolers), and Accredited Online School enrolment. Smartious is compatible with all three — we provide transcripts and curriculum documentation that satisfy Independent pathway record-keeping, and we work alongside any Church-Related Umbrella school you enrol with.
How much does Smartious cost for Tennessee families in USD?
Tuition starts from USD 423 per month, and the exact figure depends on the pathway, the year group and the subjects your child takes. Request pricing through the enrolment form and we send the full structure the same day. Every programme includes live qualified teachers, recorded lessons for review, marked work and termly reports, with no surprise fees.
Is Smartious recognized by Vanderbilt, UT Knoxville, and Belmont?
Yes. Vanderbilt, UT Knoxville, Belmont, Lipscomb and University of the South all accept Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level qualifications. Vanderbilt particularly values Cambridge A-Level rigour for its competitive STEM and engineering programmes. Belmont and Lipscomb welcome homeschool graduates strongly. We provide free Common App, Vanderbilt-specific application guidance, and recommendation letters.
What's the live class schedule for Nashville music families on Central Time?
Live classes run 7 AM – 4 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday. Nashville music families often choose morning core blocks (7–10 AM CT) followed by recorded electives in the afternoon — leaving evenings free for music lessons, recording sessions, performances, and rehearsals. Recordings allow flexibility around touring or session schedules.
Does Smartious help Tennessee homeschoolers qualify for Tennessee Promise?
Yes. Tennessee Promise provides free community college tuition for TN high school graduates including homeschoolers. Eligibility requires a documented homeschool transcript, mentor meeting participation, community service hours, and FAFSA completion.
