About this role
About Crimson Global Academy Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is a world-leading registered private online high school based in New Zealand, with a multicultural student community of approximately 3,000 learners across multiple virtual campuses and more than 30 countries.
Our highly experienced teaching staff are drawn predominantly from New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. Every one of our teachers is a subject expert, and our strong pastoral care network ensures students learn in a safe and inclusive environment.

Combined with curriculum flexibility, cutting-edge technology and the opportunity to accelerate, CGA offers an unusually rich environment for students with the drive to excel.
CGA offers Pearson Edexcel and Cambridge GCSE and A-Level programmes, as well as a US Diploma programme. We are also rapidly embracing AI and emerging technologies to transform and enhance the way our students learn.
Our academic results speak for themselves, and we strongly believe that learning extends beyond the classroom through enrichment and extracurricular opportunities.
