Global Online Academy is a nonprofit organization based in Seattle, Washington, founded and led by educators. Drawing on classroom experience, it designs and facilitates online courses that aim to embody rigorous educational design and effective facilitation, while pursuing ongoing innovations in learning technology. GOA describes itself as a partner to schools, supplying courses and resources that schools can integrate into their curricula, with students enrolling through the partner and the school determining transcripts and credit. In addition to courses, it supports professional learning for educators and fosters international communities of practice, offering formats from on-demand online courses to in-person workshops. The organization operates within the education administration programs space and maintains a network of partner schools worldwide, enabling schools to broaden offerings without expanding full-time staff. Recent partnerships with Melbourne Girls Grammar School and Hill-Murray School illustrate GOA's ongoing collaboration with schools to provide online courses and global learning experiences.
