Teacher in Charge, Biology, Aoraki

Students at CGA study at a level that matches their academic competence rather than their age, which means a significant proportion of our cohort is working ahead of their peer group. 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.
