From record enrolments to inspiring in-person meetups, 2025 showcased how a modern online school can be flexible, personalised, and deeply connected.

This Year in Review highlights the milestones that shaped CGA in 2025.

A Thriving Community: Online and In Person

Even though CGA is a digital-first school, our community spirit extends far beyond the screen.

In 2025, students:

• Attended 136,917 classes
• Joined 25 student-led clubs
• Participated in 19 virtual events

Across 29 global meetups and trips, learners met face-to-face, building connections, and shared memories. Our New York City meetup became the most attended event of the year, bringing together students who had previously only connected online.

With a growing, diverse student body, our in-person meetups spanned more cities than ever before - from London and Sydney to Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. Whether it was an outdoor adventure, sightseeing, games night, picnic, or family dinner, these moments helped turned online classmates into lifelong friends.

Subjects that Inspired Curiosity and Future Pathways

CGA students continued to pursue academically and globally recognised subjects in 2025.

These subject selections reveal a strong interest in STEM, critical literacy, and inquiry-based learning, aligning with the skills needed for university and future careers.

Sports That Motivated and United Students

CGA students continued to demonstrate balance, discipline, and passion outside the classroom.

Students like diver and swimmer Jacob from the US found success balancing sports and academics with the help of CGA's flexible scheduling, 1:1 classes, and class recordings. While in New Zealand, our first ever equestrian team proudly represented the school at a local competition.

The most popular sports in 2025 were:
