“CGA has been an amazing vessel for accelerating my education and directing my ambitions, as I would not have been able to access the IGCSE, IAS and now A2 courses that are now so important to me.

Not only would there have been a geographical barrier, but also an age one. Being able to study through CGA meant that I was able to pursue these qualifications and the subjects that I loved based on my ability, rather than be limited by my age, and have access to the best teachers in the world!”

“Although you are being taught through a screen, you really feel connected because the whole class is often doing something together... working on a project together, and because of all of that interaction you stay connected.

I socialize with my classmates a lot on slack... the community on there is very positive and you always have someone that replies to you being in such a big community.”

The atmosphere, the teachers and students provided in creating an informal but fast-paced learning environment is something I have been impressed with since the start.

My favourite part of the CGA classroom is that it allows for teaching of not just exam content, but extra knowledge bites from the real world, and applies it to what we are learning in the classroom to solve real-world issues. I am glad to be part of this school. Thank you CGA!

“I love how I can focus more on my academics and CGA really has helped me find my goals in what I want to study which is neuroscience.

I am really passionate in science courses and what I love most about online learning is that the CGA teachers really do help and support you when it comes to your goals and academics.”

“My favorite thing about CGA is the different people you get to connect with. Some people live close by and I have become really good friends with them, while others live far away like Singapore and Japan. It has been great to connect with them and learn their stories.

I love learning online as it has allowed me to better interact with my teachers and peers.”
