Global Online Academy (GOA)
LEARNING AT ISKL
Global Online Academy (GOA) at ISKL
Starting in 2021, The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) entered into a partnership with Global Online Academy (GOA). GOA is a not-for-profit consortium of leading independent schools from around the world. GOA offers ISKL students the opportunity to learn alongside peers from around the world. GOA courses further enrich the ISKL experience by helping students test their passions in ways typically unavailable on a single campus.
Mission-driven
GOA’s mission is to reimagine learning to empower students and educators to thrive in a globally networked society.
Learner-centered
To reimagine learning includes reimagining inequitable systems and structures to create a more socially just world in which students and educators can thrive.
Nonprofit
There are more than 120 high-performing independent schools in the consortium, representing more than 25 countries and more than 30 states.
The GOA Student Experience
Pursue your passion! Check out this Student Experience video by Global Online Academy.
“A chance to take a class that not any High School offers on topics that teachers or students have the opportunity to take or teach. It’s not just any class you can walk into at school. It’s a specific subject area you’re really interested in. It’s a time frame that really works for you. It breaks down the barrier between teacher and student. It’s more like a teacher and a student working together to learn something new.” – Ziah, GOA Student
