How to Apply to Crimson Global Academy: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Enrolment

Education should ignite potential—not confine it. That’s why the Crimson Global Academy (CGA) admissions process is flexible, personalised, and globally accessible. Unlike most traditional schools and even many online school competitors, CGA offers rolling admissions. This means students can start their learning journey at any time of the year, depending on when they're ready.

Our multiple global school calendars allow students to choose a timetable that works best for their region and lifestyle, whether they’re based in the Southern Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere, or living in between. This flexibility enables us to welcome student-athletes, frequent travellers, performers, and globally mobile families without disruption to their learning.

At CGA, we understand that each student’s path is different. That’s why our admissions team works closely with families to tailor the experience, making education fit the student, not the other way around.

Your Journey Starts Here

Our enrolment process begins with a 30-minute discovery call, where we explore your child’s goals and determine if CGA’s online education is the right fit. We take a holistic approach, considering not just academics, but also personal interests, career aspirations, and lifestyle. From there, a dedicated academic advisor will guide you every step of the way, ensuring a seamless experience.

Step 1 - Book Discovery Call

• We'll help you to evaluate which curriculum, learning mode, and subjects best suit your child's goals.

Step 2 - Complete Admissions Assessment

• Students complete a brief academic assessment in subjects such as mathematics, reading, and science. This, coupled with a recent school report (if available), helps us to suggest the most suitable classes for your child.

Step 3 - Confirm Enrolment Plan

• Your Admissions Officer will let you know the classes, timetable options and pricing for your child's CGA enrolment. Once confirmed, the form will be sent to get your child ready to join CGA.

Step 4 - Onboarding & Welcome to CGA!

• Final enrolment forms are submitted, paperwork is finalised, and accounts are set up. We are now ready to welcome you at CGA!

CGA Requirements: What You Need to Know

• Who is Crimson Global Academy for, and are there any restrictions or limitations? We welcome students aged 7–18 from diverse backgrounds, including academically ambitious learners, student-athletes and performers, globally mobile families, and those looking to build confidence in their education. We also believe geographical barriers should not limit access to quality education. Students can enrol from anywhere in the world.

• Can you transfer mid-year? Yes! CGA accepts rolling admissions throughout the year. This is possible thanks to our multiple school calendars, each with its own term dates, and the variety of educational pathways we offer.

  Each campus has its own late enrolment deadlines and processes:

  • The Aoraki calendar suits Southern Hemisphere students, with four terms starting in February.
  • The Greenwich and US calendars suit Northern Hemisphere students, with three terms from September to May.

  Your eligibility may also depend on your selected pathway: Pre-IGCSE, IGCSE, A Levels, US Diploma, or APs.

• What are the school fees? As a global online private school, our fees reflect the value of a world-class education that extends far beyond traditional classrooms. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership, or outstanding extracurricular achievement. Financial aid options are available, and we encourage families to speak to an academic advisor to create a personalised financial plan.

• What is the appropriate age to start? While CGA is open to students aged 7-18, we place learners based on ability, not just age. Academically advanced students may be considered for higher-level courses regardless of age.

• Do I need to take an entry test? Not always. Placement is typically based on previous academic performance, school reports, and the admissions assessment. An entry test may be required in some cases, especially for younger students or those applying for advanced courses.

• When can I enrol at CGA? Is CGA accepting enrolments now? Yes! Thanks to our rolling admissions, students can apply at any time. Multiple school calendars are available to suit different time zones and academic goals.

• How long does the process take? The online high school application process typically takes 2-3 business days from your discovery call to onboarding.

• What if I have more questions? Our Academic Advisors are happy to help! They’ll walk you through the CGA admissions process, application steps, and help you understand what makes CGA the best choice for your child’s education.
