For Schools
Powered by BGA brings internationally recognised IGCSE, A-Level, American and university-level programmes into your school. No new hires, no new campus, no loss of independence. You keep your families, your identity and full control.
Why Partner
The pressure is not a failure of schools. It is a change in the conditions every school is working under, and it is arriving faster than any single institution can absorb alone. These are the three pressures heads of school tell us about most often.
Pedagogically
1 in 7adolescents lives with a diagnosable mental health condition, and most never receive support. A single pace and a fixed timetable do not serve them.
WHO / CDC 2025
Operationally
44Mteachers short worldwide by 2030, with attrition doubling in a decade. Hiring for a single subject is becoming harder to justify and harder to do.
UNESCO 2024
Strategically
29%fewer entry-level job postings since January 2024. Families are asking what a qualification is worth, and expecting schools to answer.

BGA is not a school. It is a learning model and the platform that runs it, now running across 60 Hubs in 13 countries, with more than 1,000 Learners.
Partnering puts that model inside your walls. Your students gain a wider curriculum, a global peer network and a pace that fits them, without leaving the community they already belong to.
Why Partner With Us
Partnership Models
Every school comes to us from a different starting point. Some want a BGA Hub running inside their campus from day one. Others want the platform and the curricula, and to run the rest themselves. The four models below are the usual entry points, and each one is shaped around what your school actually needs.
Tier 01/Most support
We bring the Hub to you, Learning Coach included.
Tier 02/Your Hub, our brand
You own and run the Hub, with our model and our brand behind it.
Tier 03/Your operation
The academic engine, with everything else run your way.
Tier 04/Most autonomy
The essentials, and the simplest place to start.
Every model connects your school to BGA's global network of Hubs, Learners and activities. Not sure which one fits? That is what the first conversation is for.
Educational Programmes
Two internationally recognised programmes, taught through the BGA platform and supported by our Course Managers, running in the Hub on your campus. Your school decides which of them to open, and to whom.
Age 11+
Lower Secondary is the way in for younger Learners, feeding into three accredited curricula, each one progressing at the Learner's pace rather than the year group's.
From age 16
University-level diplomas your school can offer from sixteen, keeping Learners in your community instead of losing them after secondary.
Partner Schools
Powered by BGA runs inside established schools across three continents, from historic boys' schools to young international campuses. Each one kept its name, its calendar and its community, and added a BGA Hub on site.

How It Works
Most of the work sits on our side. Your part is deciding that it fits, giving the Hub a room, and telling your families about it.
Step 01
A short call to understand your school, your Learners and what is pressing on you right now.
Step 02
We propose the tier that fits, and adjust it around your calendar, your staff and your space.
Step 03
Agreement signed, platform configured, curricula selected, and the Learning Coach recruited and trained.
Step 04
Your Hub starts running inside your school, with Course Manager support behind every subject.
Step 05
Enrolment runs all year, and your Hub joins the global BGA network of Learners and activities.
No new building, no new department. A room, a coach and a group of Learners.
Start Here
Tell us where your school is and what you are trying to solve. We will come back to you with the model that fits, or tell you honestly if we are not the right answer.

FAQ
If your question is not here, ask it directly. The first conversation is short and there is nothing to commit to.
No. Your school keeps its name, its brand, its calendar and its traditions. You keep the relationship with your families and full control over how the school is run. The Hub sits inside your school, it does not take it over.
No. It sits alongside what you already offer. Most partner schools use it to add internationally recognised options, to cover subjects they cannot staff, or to give specific Learners a different pace without moving them somewhere else.
No. Every subject is backed by a BGA Course Manager, so you can widen the curriculum without hiring for a single subject. In the Powered by BGA model the Learning Coach who runs the Hub is recruited with you and employed by BGA.
IGCSEs and A Levels through Edexcel and Pearson, the American curriculum accredited by Cognia and the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the Portuguese curriculum certified by DGE and DGES, the South African CAPS curriculum, and Unique Pathway, our ATHE-accredited university-level route.
Ten Learners is the minimum to open a Hub, and a Hub typically settles at around thirty. Enrolment runs all year, so it can fill gradually rather than waiting for a September intake.
One room on your campus, set up as a co-learning space rather than a classroom. Mixed age, no rows, no bells. It runs Monday to Friday, from eight in the morning to six in the evening.
No, and that is a common assumption. Partner schools use it for athletes training full time, for Learners who want to move faster than their year group, for those who need more support, and for families whose lives do not fit a fixed timetable.
Yes. For a primary school it creates a clear progression pathway and helps retain families into the secondary phase instead of losing them to another school.
It depends on the model you choose and on how much of the operation you want to run yourself. We go through it properly in the first conversation, once we understand what your school actually needs.
