Foundation

Our youngest learners can begin school online from just 3 years of age. In a warm, engaging and playful environment, our qualified early years teachers nurture curiosity, confidence and a genuine love of learning. Through early literacy, numeracy and creative discovery, we lay the strong foundations that set every child up to thrive as they move into the junior years.

Junior School

Covering the primary and elementary years, our Junior School develops inquisitive, vivacious and enterprising young learners across every core subject. Whether following the British, American or Australian curriculum, children are taught live by qualified and experienced teachers in small, supportive classes — building the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to move up to the next stage fully prepared.

Middle School

The middle years bridge primary learning and senior study. Our students follow a broad, structured programme that deepens their understanding across the sciences, humanities, languages, the arts and technology, while building the independent study habits that secondary success depends on. Taught live in small classes, students are guided and challenged at exactly the right level for their stage.

High School

Our High School delivers the highest standard of education through to graduation and beyond. Students follow their chosen pathway — Cambridge IGCSEs and A Levels, the American High School Diploma with Advanced Placement options, or Australian Senior Secondary studies — with almost any combination of subjects available. Delivered live online, students engage directly with their teachers and collaborate with classmates around the world, fully prepared to compete in a global environment.

As a student, why should I choose Global Crest Academy?

Our online school is unique in its flexibility, approach and accessibility. Effective learning without interruptions allows students to progress with confidence — while still leaving time to pursue their own interests, talents and goals.

Global Crest Academy is a school that puts you in control. Whichever curriculum you follow — British, American or Australian — our live online classrooms let you learn in small groups, interact naturally with your classmates, and have direct, confidential access to your teacher at all times. Because everything is online, you can study from anywhere in the world, in a class group that fits your time zone.

Best of all, Global Crest Academy gives you control over your time. If you ever miss a live lesson, recordings are available so you can catch up in full and never fall behind — and for students who prefer to learn entirely at their own pace, our self-paced GCA Video programme lets you work through the full curriculum whenever it suits you. Either way, you get an unrivalled opportunity to balance your studies with your own interests, hobbies and ambitions.

As a parent, what do I need to know?

Our teaching model allows students to make excellent progress, whichever curriculum they follow. Your child can study the British, American or Australian curriculum — from early years right through to their final qualifications, whether that's Cambridge Checkpoints, IGCSEs and A Levels, an American High School Diploma with Advanced Placement, or Australian Senior Secondary studies.

Global Crest Academy provides a personalised educational experience for every student — whether your child enrols with us as their main full-time school, or as a supplement to their existing school, in which case they can study individual subjects. Whichever route you choose, your child experiences a uniquely accessible school with everything at their fingertips.

At Global Crest Academy we understand that choosing the right school for your child is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. Our school addresses the academic, pastoral and social needs of each student individually. Our curricula are taught by qualified and experienced teachers whose detailed knowledge of their subject is matched by their motivation and energy to see every student in their care succeed. Once lessons are over, students can enjoy a range of clubs, courses and seminars, or catch up with friends in our school community.

Global Crest Academy's state-of-the-art online learning platform and engaging resources enable students to make great progress in their studies. We give students genuine control over their learning, in small classes where they can question their teachers directly and discreetly — during and after lessons — to ensure they build a solid understanding of every subject.

We also make it easy for parents to stay involved and follow their child's progress. Parents are given their own access to the school portal, providing regular information about their child's progress, feedback and assignments, supplemented by written feedback from their teachers.

We are able to welcome students who join partway through the academic year. Our online resources, structured modules and the personal, individual attention students receive from our teachers make settling in smooth — and because we offer flexible entry points across our different programmes, your child can often begin at a time that suits your family. If you would like further details about any aspect of how Global Crest Academy works, or how we support a smooth transition into our school, please get in touch and we can discuss your child's needs.
