CGA Shines as Top 3 Finalist for World's Best School

Pushing Boundaries, Defining Excellence

The World's Best School Prizes for Innovation recognise institutions that dare to challenge conventional norms and revolutionise education. From the outset, CGA has steadfastly embraced innovative teaching methodologies and consistently pushed boundaries to empower its students with an exceptional online learning journey.

Mark Philips, Principal of CGA, says the school's emphasis on flexible curriculum options, cutting-edge technology, and accelerated learning opportunities has contributed significantly to its distinction as a top contender. The resolute commitment to combining world-class education with adaptable learning pathways is what truly sets CGA apart.

Active Learning for Lasting Impact

At the heart of CGA's success lies its dedication to active participation and experiential learning. Project-based learning, interactive discussions, and real-world applications constitute the core of its innovative teaching methods. By engaging students in their educational journey, CGA nurtures curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, equipping them not only for university but also for life beyond.

The acknowledgment from John Key, Former New Zealand Prime Minister, further validates CGA's approach to education. He lauds the school's embrace of virtual learning as a glimpse into the future of education, echoing the sentiment that CGA is at the forefront of educational transformation.

“I would like to extend my congratulations to you and the Crimson Global Academy community for being selected as a top three finalist for innovation. This is a great achievement, and I acknowledge the dedication and mahi that has contributed to this success since your establishment just three years ago.
