Crimson Global Academy

Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is Australia’s only internationally accredited private online learning academy, revolutionising education and learning experiences with more than 1700 students aged 7 to 18 across over 55 countries worldwide.

In Australia, CGA’s diverse community includes students who need more flexibility due to busy extracurricular schedules (athletes, musicians, performers), families who live rurally or travel regularly, those looking to advance or accelerate beyond their current studies, and students who simply feel distracted at school and prefer the focused learning environment of home.

Three key aspects sets CGA apart:

1. Ability-based learning. At CGA, students learn based on ability, rather than age, across all subjects. This allows students to advance in subjects they are strong in (or are passionate about) and studying content at their own pace to rebuild their academic confidence where needed.
2. Flexibility to suit your needs. Students can join CGA either full-time (4 to 5 hours of class a day - not currently available in Victoria) and have CGA be their only form of education, or part-time (2 to 3 hours per week) with after-school classes in subjects like Maths, English, or Science.
3. Small class sizes. CGA’s classes are roughly half that of a traditional private school, with an average of 8-12 students per class. Students also have the option of joining private 1:1 lessons, allowing them to cover a year’s curriculum in any subject in a matter of months

Curriculum

CGA is registered to teach two gold standard international curricula that are widely accepted by universities in Australia and around the world. Both the International A Levels pathway (Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge International) and the US Diploma pathway (including Advanced Placement subjects) are globally recognised, regarded for their academic rigour, and renowned for helping students pave a path to top universities.

Student life

CGA strives to prioritise giving students the opportunities they need to maintain a healthy social life. With online extracurricular activities such as Chess Clubs and the CGA Press, house competitions, student leadership teams, study groups, and both virtual and in-person student meetups, CGA gives students the ability to socialise on their own terms.

CGA Term Calendar

CGA runs 3 different calendars to cater to its global student base, each catering to different students with different term dates and application deadlines. Most Australian students would follow CGA's Aoraki Calendar, similar to the typical Australian school calendar. All students are given a short, free academic assessment with our CGA Academic Advisors to help determine their best-fit academic level and find a calendar, subject selection, and timetables that may suit them best.
