Our Origins
London Global Education (LGE) was established in 2024 by stakeholders with decades of experience in preparing Chinese students for UK universities, specifically through A-Level tuition.
Recognising the evolving needs of international students, LGE launched the Level 3 International Foundation Programme.
Our innovative programme, combining British and Chinese educational expertise, fosters a global community of future leaders.
The programme emphasises holistic development, moving beyond exam-focused learning to prioritise active learning and critical thinking.
Strategic partnerships with leading Chinese education groups, including major conglomerates and providers of high-quality education services, significantly expand LGE's reach.
LGE's student-centred approach, which prioritises individual needs and offers diverse pathways, has resonated with students, parents, and institutional partners.
With projected enrolment growth from 50 to 500 students by 2028, the programme demonstrates strong potential and a promising future.
