For families who are regularly on the move or simply looking for a high-quality alternative to traditional modes of teaching, an easy-to-access option is now available offering flexibility, rigour and a proven track record.
Operating since 2019, the Crimson Global Academy (CGA) conducts small live group classes alongside one-to-one classes where a more personalised pace is helpful. Everything follows a well-structured weekly timetable, with a choice of curricula that lead to globally recognised qualifications including the IGCSE, international A-Levels, AP (advanced placement) programmes, and the US high school diploma.
The aim at all times is to provide an education which is effective, challenging and transformative. This is done by giving students access to cutting-edge technologies, a global learning environment, and even an AI chatbot on hand to offer extra support when needed. Results show it is an approach which can accelerate academic performance and broaden perspectives, while also allowing sufficient flexibility to adjust personal timetables and pathways or opt for one-to-one classes in certain subjects if preferred.
“We have rolling admissions, but students will join one of three virtual campuses – centred in Hong Kong, London and the United States – where live classes, with an average of 8-10 students – are taught remotely in the morning or early afternoon in each time zone,” says Liya Sun, CGA’s admissions officer for Asia.
“Each campus follows its own academic year, but we make it easy to switch between them if families or students move, and there are the usual term breaks, internal exams, reports, parent-teacher exchanges and check-ins with group tutors.” Already, children from more than 70 Hong Kong families are studying with CGA, usually choosing to do so for one of three reasons.
“To bring people together, we host regular in-person events each quarter where students, siblings and parents in the same city can meet up,” says Ella Liu, CGA’s senior marketing associate for the Asia region.
There are also numerous extracurricular activities, including a popular cooking club where students prepare and share recipes from the own culture , and general PE sessions to keep pupils fit and active.
While there can be challenges in switching to online learning, most young people only need to refamiliarise themselves with the type of processes and protocols they had to follow during the pandemic.
“New joiners have to get used to the platforms and chatbots, but students of this generation adapt really quickly,” Sun says. “Usually, it is the parents who take longer to understand the portals and what to do.”
“We are accredited by four leading bodies: WASC (the Western Association of Schools and Colleges), Cambridge Assessment International Education, Pearson Edexcel, and the College Board (AP), and are registered in the US and New Zealand, so colleges recognise us as a private school,” Liu says. “We have had 160-plus admission offers from Oxbridge, Ivy League and other universities among the world’s top 50, and we are working towards steady expansion, maintaining the current momentum for our next intakes and well beyond.”
