Spear’s Review

Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is a 100 per cent online private school for primary, secondary and senior students. Particularly appealing to student athletes and performers, the school offers a range of curriculum options for children who are not able to, or would prefer not to, attend a traditional bricks-and-mortar school.

Students can choose between a UK- or US-based curriculum and attend virtual lessons led by experienced tutors who can answer their questions in real time. CGA says this ‘real-time, live teaching’ approach ensures an engaging and inclusive environment: ‘At CGA you can’t hide in the back row. Every student is seen and heard.’

Beyond the classroom there is a range of social events and extracurriculars (also held virtually) in which students can get to know each other and feel a part of a community.

Academics

49 per cent of GCSE results are grades 7–9. 

47 per cent of results at A-Level are A* or A.
