Description

The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In this final conversation of Series Ten, we talk with Jamie Beaton. Jamie founded Crimson Education at age 18 to help other high schoolers gain offers to the most competitive universities as he did, including Harvard, Stanford, Cambridge, and MIT. Jamie has grown Crimson Education to include a network of over 20,000 students and with over 2,300 tutors and mentors. In 2020 he launched Crimson Global Academy, a world-class private online high school, now working with over 550 students from 27 countries. In 2017 Jamie was featured on the 2017 Forbes Asia - 30 Under 30 List. Just some of Jamie’s further accolades include New Zealand’s EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist, New Zealand Innovator of the Year, NZ Hi-Tech Young Achiever, and Young New Zealander of the Year.
