Short-Term Online Schooling for Students Facing Anxiety, Bullying, or Medical Challenges

When a student is facing bullying, anxiety, or medical challenges, the mainstream environment often becomes a barrier to learning. Dr. English will discuss how a structured, short-term move to online schooling can act as a vital circuit breaker. This approach allows students to reset their confidence and academic progress.

In this session, Dr. English and CGA’s Head of Admissions will explore:

• The Changing Landscape: Why the "accidental homeschooler" is the fastest-growing demographic in education.
• The Circuit Breaker: What a short-term Crimson Global Academy (CGA) plan looks like and the paths to either returning to school or completing school with CGA.
• Social Safety: Debunking the socialisation myth and explaining why removing toxic school dynamics often leads to better social outcomes.
• The Tipping Point: How to recognise when "pushing through" is no longer working and it’s time to make a change.

Dr. Rebecca English is a researcher and teacher whose work is concerned with the ways parents make choices for their children’s education in alignment with their beliefs about family and parenting. Her particular interest is in the choice of non-mainstream education. Her work explores how families enact power and agency in their choices around education and parenting.
