FAQs

Why have you chosen these four destinations for the Global Achievers Academy?

All of our destinations have been chosen for their safety for our students and because each of them enhances the curriculum and the modules our students will study.

Can I join for just one summer, or do I have to take part in all four?

Yes, you can. However, our programme is designed to take you on a global journey and each to give you a deeper understanding of the curriculum modules as you grow in age; therefore, to gain full value and to graduate from the programme in full, we encourage our students to attend all four summers in all four destinations.

Is there a discount if I book multiple summers in advance?

Please contact our team at info@globalachieversacademy.com to find out more about multiple year discounts and paying for more than one summer at a time.

Is there a sibling discount?

Please contact our team at info@globalachieversacademy.com  to find out more about our current sibling discounts.

Are there scholarships available?

As part of our ethos of inclusivity we do offer scholarship opportunies. Each January we launch our scholarship programme, sign up to our newsletter for updates.
Please note that if you have already applied and paid your deposit or course fees but you are successful in your scholarship application, we will reimburse any monies already paid to us.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes, you can! We ask for a 20% deposit at time of booking to secure your place with us and we can also set up instalment plans for your future payments. Please note that all course fees must be paid in full three weeks before arrival.

Is the deposit non-refundable?

No. Our exclusive programmes have limited spaces, and your deposit is to secure your place with us. If you are unable to travel as you are refused a visa or in extreme circumstances then we will work with you on a solution, including possible reimbursement of your deposit. Please see our terms and conditions for a detailed overview of our cancellation policy.

What do I need to prepare / pack for each location?

Closer to your departure you will receive a welcome pack which provides detailed information on what you need to pack and your itinerary, plus any other useful information.

Is there a minimum level of English required to participate in the programme?

For our non-native speakers we ask for a minimum level of B2. We can provide you with a link to our online language test

Can I skip a module I’m not interested in?

No. Our unique curriculum has been designed to cover the most important topics that provide context for students to understand how our connected world really works and to shape them as well rounded, global citizens.

Do I have to attend all activities?

Yes. Our activities are designed to enhance our programme and provide real world, experiential context for our students. Our activities provide a fun element to the programme and help our students grow and develop in a more relaxed environment.

Do I get a certificate for completing the programme?

Yes. At the end of each of our two-week programmes, all cohort members will receive a Global Achievers Academy Certificate of Completion outlining the programme they have taken part in, and the topics covered.
