Global Online Academy
GOA's mission is to reimagine learning to empower students and educators to thrive in a globally networked society.
We are delighted to announce that TASIS Dorado has been accepted into the highly competitive Global Online Academy consortium composed of 135 member schools from 30 countries worldwide committed to preparing their communities for the future. TASIS Dorado is the first Caribbean and only TASIS school to be accepted into this prestigious organization, whose founding schools are consistently ranked in the top 5% of private schools in the United States, with an average SAT score of 1400.
The GOA courses offer our students the chance to learn in a highly collaborative, international learning community, building the skills they will need for college, career, and life. These interactive experiences will allow TASIS Dorado students the opportunity to join a global conversation and explore innovative topics and skills in ways they would not have access to otherwise.
