Crimson Global Academy (CGA) has been honoured by Spear’s Magazine, a leading British publication renowned for its coverage of wealth management, luxury lifestyle, and private education. In their 2025 Spear’s Schools Index, CGA is recognised among the world’s top 100 private schools, specifically in the “Rest of the World” category.

Established in 2006 and headquartered in London, the magazine’s Spear’s Schools Index is an annual compilation that identifies the leading private educational institutions globally, serving as a trusted resource for affluent families seeking top-tier education for their children. 

How Was CGA Recognised?

CGA was included in the 2025 Spear’s Schools Index under the “Rest of the World” category, which highlights exceptional private schools located outside of North America, the UK, Europe, Switzerland, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. These schools are chosen based on:

• Academic excellence and curriculum offerings

• Innovation in education, including online and flexible learning models

• Holistic student development, beyond just academic results

• Reputation and global influence, attracting students from diverse backgrounds

Spear’s worked with research experts at Thuso and a panel of international educational leaders to carefully assess schools. The selection process involved direct school data collection, interviews, and additional research.

Why CGA Continues To Stand Out?

Unlike traditional schools, CGA offers a globally recognised curriculum with the flexibility for students to learn at their own pace, regardless of location. This allows ambitious learners to accelerate their studies, engage in world-class academic programmes, and prepare for top university pathways.

• World-class academic options – Students can choose from Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, ensuring a strong foundation for future success.
• Small, personalised classes – With an average of just 10-12 students per class, students benefit from real-time interaction with expert teachers and individualised support.
• A truly international learning environment – CGA welcomes students from over 65 countries, creating a diverse, global classroom experience.
• Flexible enrolment options – Whether studying full-time or part-time, students can tailor their learning around their goals, passions, and personal commitments.
• Outstanding university admissions results – CGA students have secured offers from Oxford, Cambridge, Ivy League schools, and other top global universities.

A 2025 Approach To Academic Excellence

Being named in the Spear’s Schools Index reflects CGA’s commitment to redefining online education. With our rigorous yet flexible academic structure, students have the opportunity to progress outside the limits of a traditional classroom.

With access to internationally recognised qualifications, CGA ensures students can study at an advanced level and specialise in subjects that align with their ambitions.

"As I started competing more with the horses, it was a very demanding lifestyle with all the competitions, so it was a natural solution for me to turn to an online school, and CGA was just the best option I found for myself." - CGA Student Caterina

This student-first approach enables learners to excel academically while pursuing extracurricular interests, internships, and leadership opportunities. The school’s remote learning model is designed to be as interactive and engaging as any top-tier brick-and-mortar institution, making high-quality education accessible to students worldwide.

“Having taught in leading UK curriculum schools across the international, private, and state sectors, I’ve seen firsthand how online education is transforming opportunities for students. As both an educator and a parent, I understand the growing demand for flexibility, small class sizes, and a globally recognised curriculum that online learning like CGA offers.” - CGA’s Pastoral Care Dean, Mrs Beth Haresnape
