Online School & Homeschool in Thessaloniki

Online school and international curriculum in Thessaloniki

For Thessaloniki families — live Cambridge delivery in the northern capital, where a compact international tier meets a growing tech and trade economy.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Thessaloniki families. Thessaloniki is Greece's second city and its northern hub — Balkan trade and logistics, a tech scene that has drawn international investment and returning Greek talent, and two major universities. Its international tier is compact: Pinewood American International School and Anatolia College anchor provision that is respected and finite, and the British Cambridge-to-A-Level track is thin. Smartious delivers it live — supplementary beside any enrolment through the compulsory years, and the full A-Level pathway after gymnasio — with Athens exam windows planned per session.

Challenges Thessaloniki families face

A compact international tier — Pinewood and Anatolia — against a growing international and returning-diaspora community, with the British A-Level track thin.
School attendance is compulsory for resident children aged 4-15 — supplementary study runs beside an enrolment, never instead of one.
Exam sittings for private candidates typically mean Athens windows, planned ahead.
Time zone: Thessaloniki shares EET (UTC+2) / EEST (UTC+3) — 0-1 hours behind Nairobi EAT; the same clock in summer.

Why Thessaloniki families choose Smartious

The British track the north never had: Thessaloniki's tier is American and IB-oriented; the Cambridge IGCSE-to-A-Level route — the direct UCAS pathway — comes live from Smartious.
The frontistirio culture, internationalised: Structured afternoon tuition beside school is the Greek norm; ours leads to external Cambridge examination.
The post-15 window, planned: After gymnasio, the A-Level years run entirely outside compulsory education — full live pathway, Athens sittings planned per session.
Live teaching, small groups: Every Smartious class is live, real-time, in groups of 4-6.
The same clock in summer: Thessaloniki is 0-1 hours behind Nairobi EAT.

Greek law applies as nationally: attendance compulsory for resident children aged 4-15, supplementary study beside the enrolment, and the full A-Level phase open after gymnasio at fifteen. We plan both configurations, with exam travel to Athens scheduled per session.

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

Live online via Smartious LMS. Classes land exactly inside the Thessaloniki afternoon on the 0-1 hour offset — the frontistirio slot. Recorded sessions 24/7.
