Online School & Homeschool in Žabljak & the North

Online school and international curriculum in Žabljak and northern Montenegro

For Žabljak and northern families — Durmitor, the Tara canyon, and the part of the country the school map forgot.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for families across Žabljak and northern Montenegro. The north is the country's wild half — Durmitor national park and the Tara canyon draw rafting, hiking, and ski visitors from across Europe, Žabljak sits higher than any other town in Montenegro, and Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje, and Berane carry the region's industry, coal, and administration. It is also the part of the country furthest from anything: no international schooling exists in the entire north, and Podgorica is two to three hours over the mountains. Smartious delivers the pathways live at altitude — supplementary alongside a local enrolment, or as the academic spine within Montenegro's semester-at-a-time home provision.

Challenges Žabljak & the North families face

Why Žabljak & the North families choose Smartious

The national framework applies in the north: primary education is compulsory from six to fifteen, and by exception a parent may organise the child's primary education at home for one semester or one school year, with the school keeping records and the knowledge check at the end of the cycle. In a region where winter access can be genuinely difficult, the semester framing and the cycle-based check are more workable than the annual all-subject regimes across the borders — though the supplementary configuration alongside a local enrolment remains the simplest arrangement for most families.

In-person tuition supplementation in the north is subject to associate availability; the live online programme is complete without it.

Live online via Smartious LMS, landing inside the local school day on the 1-2 hour offset, with the full recorded library built for winter access and the seasons.

Northern Montenegro runs Durmitor national park, the Tara canyon, and a mountain tourism economy alongside the industry and administration of Pljevlja, Bijelo Polje, and Berane — with no international schooling anywhere in the region and Podgorica two to three hours over the mountains. The north shares CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2), 1-2 hours behind Nairobi EAT.
