As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the traditional classroom is no longer the only option for quality education.
With over 1,500 students from more than 60 countries, CGA’s private online school is at the forefront of this educational revolution. Families from Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, the USA, the UAE and beyond are discovering the myriad benefits of online learning.
Whether it’s for academic excellence, the flexibility to travel, or personalized one-on-one guidance, online schooling offers a tailored educational experience for every student.
Why Ambitious Students Excel Online
For students who are driven and focused on achieving academic excellence, online schooling can be a game-changer. CGA offers personalized learning pathways that allow students to take control of their education. They can choose as many or as few subjects as they like, study part-time or full-time, and work towards gaining admission to top universities worldwide.
“CGA has made a drastic change in both [our children]. Mahathi, from the beginning, she is a studious self-learner, and CGA has made her learning more effective with the rigorous curriculum. So it is very intense, but at the same time very effective and very friendly, so academically they are really improving,” says Priya, a CGA parent from South Korea.
Chloe, a CGA student, adds, “My academics have definitely pushed me to a higher level. I’m a year ahead [at CGA] than I would be in a normal high school.”
Jade from New Zealand shares, “Before I started at CGA, I would go home from school and do a lot of self-study to cover topics that were not talked about in class and to extend myself. Whereas, at CGA I found teaching is very thorough and I don’t have to do that myself. That gives me a lot more time to do stuff I am really interested in.”
Jade’s dedication paid off when she was accepted into seven top universities in the US, ultimately choosing to begin her studies at Princeton University.
Online Schooling for Travelling Families
For families who move frequently due to work, lifestyle, or personal reasons, CGA’s fully online and internationally recognized curriculum offers a stable educational solution. This consistency allows students to continue their education without disruptions, no matter where they are in the world.
The Patton family exemplifies this lifestyle. They have lived worldwide, traveling to every country while their children continue their education online. “The adaptability and comprehension that CGA has with knowing what our lifestyle is and being willing to work with us throughout those challenges because sometimes we are in different time zones… CGA has been very understanding when it comes to that and so it’s been super helpful for our girls,” says Chantal, a CGA parent.
Supporting Student Athletes
For students whose training and performance schedules require flexibility, online schooling offers the perfect solution. It allows them to focus on their education while pursuing their passions.
“The support that CGA has provided has allowed Anastasia to pursue performing arts. The degree that she was able to practice and perform at the South African championships where she won numerous awards and the flexibility that CGA provides, is something she wouldn’t have been able to do in a normal bricks-and-mortar environment,” says Michael, a CGA parent from South Africa.
Bella, a CGA student from Australia, shares, “I was doing my online classes in the car, at the hotel, the airport… it’s so valuable!”
Eva from Russia adds, “Online education gives me many opportunities. I can work on my music, songwriting, vocal, piano playing, and at the same time my academics.” This dual focus has enabled her to participate in The Voice, release an original album, and earn a scholarship at Berkeley.
Creating an Environment to Build Confident Learners
For students who struggle in traditional school settings due to bullying, social anxiety, or the need for a different learning pace, CGA’s online community offers a supportive and understanding environment.
Siena, a CGA student from New Zealand, found a renewed drive for learning after transitioning to online education. “All my teachers really get me, which is something that I haven’t really had in a traditional school because I learn a little differently. I feel like when I talk to them they really take it on board,” she says.
Her mother, Kelle, adds, “Since joining CGA she’s met great friends; they meet up after school and play games, or they meet up in the city, and I do think those [social] expectations have been met.”
Is Online Schooling Right for Your Family?
CGA’s diverse curriculum offers something for everyone, from International A Levels and Advanced Placement courses to the US High School Diploma and even Primary School. No matter what stage your child is at, the team works with each family individually to build a tailored academic plan based around your child’s needs and goals.
