Online School & Homeschool in Uppsala

Online school in Uppsala

For Uppsala families — supplementary Cambridge delivery and full post-16 A-Levels in the Nordics' oldest university city, whose life-sciences cluster draws an international workforce its schools were not built for.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Uppsala families. Uppsala pairs the Nordics' oldest university (founded 1477) with one of Sweden's strongest life-sciences clusters — pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech research, and the university-hospital ecosystem draw international academic and corporate families to a city forty minutes from Stockholm but with a schooling market of its own, and a compact one. Smartious serves Uppsala the way Swedish law allows — supplementary alongside an enrolment during the compulsory years, and full live A-Level delivery from 16, when skolplikt ends and gymnasiet is voluntary.

Challenges Uppsala families face

A compact international-schooling market for a city with a substantial international academic and life-sciences workforce.
Stockholm's schools are forty minutes away — a real daily commute for a child.
Swedish law: home education is in practice not permitted for compulsory-age residents — Smartious's Uppsala offer is supplementary during 6-16 and full delivery from 16.
Time zone: Uppsala shares CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2 summer) — 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.

Common questions from Uppsala families

Can we homeschool in Uppsala?

In practice, no — Swedish law requires exceptional grounds applied with great restrictiveness. Smartious serves Uppsala families within the law: supplementary delivery during the compulsory years, full A-Level delivery from 16.

Where do Uppsala students sit Cambridge examinations?

At authorised Stockholm-area centres, confirmed per family per session — forty minutes for an exam sitting, not for a daily commute.
