Global Connections
GOA classes are small. Students work with a caring, expert teacher from a member school and get to know and collaborate with peers from around the world.

Flexible, Independent Learning
GOA classes are mostly asynchronous: teachers design the coursework and calendar, and students work on their own schedules, gaining important independent learning skills along the way.
