Crimson Global Academy vs Crimson Education

We are often asked about the relationship between Crimson Global Academy (CGA) and Crimson Education. While both are part of the same group, they serve different purposes. But don't worry, we'll explain the differences so you can make an informed decision about what’s right for your family.

Understand the Differences

About CGA:

Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is a fully accredited, teacher-led online school for learners from primary through high school, built for families who want the structure of a real school with the flexibility of learning online.

Students enrolled at CGA are enrolled in a school, with teachers, assessments, reporting, and recognized academic outcomes.

CGA learners also receive school-based guidance to support next steps, and CGA students have secured offers from top universities including Oxbridge and Ivy League schools.

You do not need Crimson Education to attend CGA, and CGA learners are not required to use any external admissions consulting services.

About Crimson Education:

Crimson Education provides university admissions consulting for those looking to better prepare to apply to their top-choice universities and it has helped over 1,489 students earn acceptances to Ivy League schools.

In addition, 98% of students who use their services are admitted to at least one of their top five university choices.

Crimson Education does not provide schooling, does not issue qualifications, and does not replace formal education.

Choosing what’s right for your family

If you’re looking for a flexible but structured school with live teaching and academic accountability, then Crimson Global Academy may be a good fit. But if you’re looking for additional, optional support with only university applications, then you may want to explore admissions consulting services from Crimson Education separately.
