BGA offers alternative pathways to education normally offered in international schools, but there is a lack of clear information about what they actually provide. They do not offer some basic IGCSE subjects such as English Literature or Double Science, which are usually required in many schools. Since I was planning on changing schools for A Levels, not having IGCSE English Literature made it difficult to find a school that would accept me for A Level English Literature.
Learning coaches were often misinformed on basic things such as grade boundaries and assessment objectives, which made getting useful feedback difficult. Because of the large number of learners, follow-ups were sometimes missed and I was overlooked since I did not have alarming issues like some other learners.
Feedback was also very limited, mostly 20 minute office hour slots, short conversations with teachers,... read full review

Oh and not legal to be enrolled here, Portugal does not recognise it as a school nor as homeschooling.

The platform is poorly designed and most of the online teachers haven’t even heared of A-Levels before.
The noise levels are out of control. The owner of BGA is delusional. BGA is very cultish.
The learning coaches force you to do weekly checklists which they lie on so it seems like there’s no probl... read full review
