Ameson Institutes

In order to help disseminate Chinese culture while at the same time improving the quality of domestic professional talent, the Ameson Foundation also operates a 'screening mechanism' to identify elite high school students in China and connect them with world-leading universities overseas, in order to allow as many Chinese youth as possible to pursue higher education at leading universities overseas.

To achieve this end, AECEF operates a number of its own foreign languages schools in Chinese cities, designed to stimulate global exchanges of education, language and culture. Another aim of these institutes is to address the shortage of certain professionals in China over the long-term. This is being achieved by employing teachers form foreign countries with specific specialization.

Present and past educators working at Ameson Institutes specialize in: software engineering; IT; International Tourism; Logistics Management; International Trade; Visual Communication/ Design; English Language Teaching.

Ameson-sponsored events

To push forward exchanges of educational information and experience between China and other countries, Ameson enthusiastically sponsors and organizes international forums on education in collaboration with various provinces and municipalities throughout China.

Our intention is to provide educational workers with timely knowledge of education in terms of the situation, status quo, problems, challenges and solutions.

That is why Ameson regularly collaborates with relevant provincial education departments to hold forums on education in foreign countries.

From our standpoint, these small efforts build towards a grand ideal of introducing Chinese education into the world and inviting foreign educational investment in China.
