Online School & Homeschool in Yangon

Online school and international curriculum in Yangon

For Yangon families — Cambridge and IB taught live in your after-school hours, which land squarely in our teaching day.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Yangon families. The commercial capital holds the country's deepest international school provision, a long university tradition, a substantial professional community and the river port that has shaped its trade for centuries. Cambridge is well understood here — Myanmar private schools have offered IGCSE and A-Level for many years. What we add is the subject sets a single timetable cannot sustain, fees below the international tier, and a timetable that fits an ordinary Yangon school day: our teaching hours land squarely in your after-school and evening.

Challenges Yangon families face

International school fees in Yangon are set at international levels with competitive places.
Specialist A-Level subjects often will not run for small cohorts even in strong schools.
Basic education is compulsory and administered by the Ministry of Education.
We could not verify Myanmar's position on parental home education from a primary instrument.
Time zone: Myanmar runs UTC+6:30, three and a half hours ahead of our teaching base — so after-school and evening slots work well.

Why Yangon families choose Smartious

After-school hours that genuinely work: Myanmar runs three and a half hours ahead of our teaching base, so a four or six o'clock class in Yangon lands in the middle of our day. An after-school arrangement fails in most of our markets and works cleanly here.
The set your school cannot staff: Further Mathematics or a third science for four pupils is unviable on one timetable and routine in a live group drawn from several countries.
A fee gap against the international tier: Live small-group teaching from USD 5,076 a year, quoted in USD.
Cambridge is already familiar here: Myanmar private schools have offered IGCSE and A-Level for many years, so families understand where an examined international track sits.
Honest about the legal gap: We could not verify Myanmar's home-education position and say so rather than guessing in either direction.

Myanmar education is administered by the Ministry of Education, basic education is compulsory at the primary level, and private schools operate with ministry registration — families should confirm the current age boundaries with the Ministry rather than take them from a provider. On parental home education we could not verify Myanmar's position against a primary instrument, and we are not going to guess. We will not tell you it is permitted and we will not tell you it is prohibited; both would exceed what we can evidence. What we would add is the point we make in Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere: an absence of clear regulation is an absence of protection rather than a permission, because where a matter is unaddressed there is nothing for a family to demonstrate if the question is raised. Put it to the Ministry of Education directly and keep the answer. Two clarifications: the national qualification is commonly referred to as the matriculation examination and we do not teach toward it, and Smartious is not a registered Myanmar school and issues no Myanmar qualification. That distinction is less confusing here than in many markets, because Myanmar private schools have offered IGCSE and A-Level alongside the national route for many years — an internationally examined track sitting beside the national record is a familiar arrangement.

Smartious delivers to Yangon families online; the live programme is complete without in-person supplementation.

Live online via Smartious LMS. Myanmar runs three and a half hours ahead of our teaching base with no seasonal changes on either side, so a four, six or eight o'clock evening class in Yangon sits comfortably inside our teaching day, at the same time every week of the year. Every session is recorded, so a class that cannot be attended is never a class lost.

Yangon is the commercial capital and largest city, holding the country's deepest international school provision, a long university tradition, a substantial professional community and the river port that has shaped its trade for centuries. Myanmar runs MMT (UTC+6:30), three and a half hours ahead of our teaching base.

Common questions from Yangon families

Is homeschooling legal in Myanmar?

We could not verify a position from a primary instrument and will not guess. Basic education is compulsory at the primary level and administered by the Ministry of Education. An absence of clear regulation is not a permission — put the question to the Ministry directly. Structured study alongside a school enrolment raises none of it.

Do you teach the matriculation examination?

No. We are not a registered Myanmar school and issue no Myanmar qualification. We teach Cambridge, Pearson Edexcel, IB and AP examinations, which sit alongside the national record — a familiar arrangement here, since private schools have offered IGCSE and A-Level for many years.

What time are classes?

After-school and evening work particularly well. Myanmar is three and a half hours ahead of our teaching base, so a four o'clock class in Yangon is half past twelve for our teachers and a six o'clock class is half past two — squarely in our day.

Our school already offers IGCSE — what would we gain?

Usually a subject it cannot staff for a small cohort: Further Mathematics, a third science, or a set that clashes. If your school covers what your child needs, we will tell you so.
