Admissions Criteria and Process

We provide personalized enrollment options suited to your unique goals. Our admissions process is simple and is outlined below.

Your Journey Begins Here

Crimson Global Academy provides a personalized education experience for all students. Students may enroll part-time, as a supplement to their main brick and mortar school. Our Academic Advisors and Admissions Team will closely guide you throughout the admissions process and help you evaluate which enrollment option is best-suited to your specific requirements and goals. If you indicate an interest, you will also be considered for our financial aid and scholarship program along this process.

All students admitted to Crimson Global Academy during our pre-enrollment periods will be asked about their current time constraints so that our global timetable can be built to accommodate their existing commitments. Once this occurs, a personalized timetable is created for each individual student.

All students will be eligible to receive CGA Academic transcripts and school reports, which can be sent directly to the student’s brick and mortar school and as many universities as they may wish to apply to.

Enrollment Criteria

Enrolment to CGA is competitive as we aim to maximize personalized learning and student success through small class sizes. Unfortunately, we cannot accept all students. Our Admissions Team takes a holistic view of each student and focuses on their willingness and motivation to improve. Students who display genuine enthusiasm about learning at Crimson Global Academy are likely to be a good fit for our programs and our community.

Digital Competency
The expectation of the school is that all our students will be technologically “savvy” and able to navigate successfully the program online. Naturally, there is a learning curve in adopting our technology platforms and practices but students should be confident and feel proficient navigating these independently.
Academic Readiness
Applicants must be ready to embrace CGA’s rigorous online learning environment. We are particularly seeking students who demonstrate academic initiative and show the motivation to improve - regardless of their current ability and grade history. Students do not have to be top achievers for admission to CGA, however, they must be able to keep with the pace of our accelerated classes - we make this evaluation on a case-by-case basis.
Age and Emotional Maturity
As well as being academically able, students should possess the maturity to study successfully in an online environment. As a general rule, students under the age of 12 will not be enrolled in our school except in exceptional circumstances, and at the discretion of the Principal.
Positive Personal Qualities
Prospective students need to possess attributes needed to succeed in an online environment: self-motivation, self-management, independent study skills, effective and appropriate communication skills, willingness to participate, commitment, goal-oriented.
Entry Placement Academic Testing
All applicants for positions at CGA will be required to take subject entrance tests in English, Mathematics, and Science to assess their suitability for the programs offered by the school.
Exemplary Behaviour
All CGA students are expected to abide by the school’s values and possess a good behavioral record and the potential for leadership.
