Global Online Academy

Kingswood Oxford School is a member of Global Online Academy (GOA), a consortium of leading independent schools from around the world whose programs offer our students a way to pursue their passions, learn with peers from around the globe, and acquire relevant and exceptional learning skills that will serve them well in college and beyond.

GOA courses are courses taught by experienced faculty from renowned peer schools all over the world. This is a new kind of online class in which relationships and connections drive students to share their perspectives and learn from those of others.
GOA's Catalyst Exhibition Showcase invites students to share, connect, and demonstrate the application of their skills to the real world in a capstone project. Of over 270 student projects submitted, just over 20 of them have been selected -- including three KO students -- as exemplary and published in their 2021 Public Showcase.

About GOA

The mission of Global Online Academy is to reimagine learning to empower students and educators to thrive in a globally networked society.

Member Schools

There are more than 85 high-performing independent schools in the consortium, representing more than 15 countries and more than 25 states. All GOA courses are taught by teachers who are currently teaching at a GOA member school.

GOA Courses and Teachers

GOA course workload and course intensity are equivalent to courses taken on campus. Unlike many online courses, students are actively engaged and collaborate on dynamic projects from other students around the world. Just like their classes on campus, they are expected to utilize time management to ensure they support the workload of all of their classes. 

GOA maintains excellence through rigorous teacher training, building on the best practices and values of leading independent schools. They are committed to ensuring class sizes stay small so the best and most effective student-teacher relationship can be fostered and the maximum collaboration and interaction can take place.
