ATA Creativity Global Announces Opening of International Arts Foundation Program Center in Beijing
02 December 2021 - 12:30AM
ATA Creativity Global ("ACG" or the "Company", Nasdaq:
AACG), an international educational services company
focused on providing quality learning experiences that cultivate
and enhance students’ creativity, today announced the opening of
its ACG International Arts Foundation Program Center in Beijing,
which officially opened its doors on September 5, 2021.
The ACG International Arts Foundation Program
Center is a learning center, currently providing one-year
accredited full-time international arts and relevant introductory
curriculum to students planning to apply for overseas undergraduate
art programs. The curriculum provided by ACG International Arts
Foundation Program Center serves as a substitute for the senior
year of high school and enables students in China to apply for
international universities without completing the standard set of
Chinese high school courses.
The ACG International Arts Foundation Program
Center has received approval from Pearson to deliver BTEC diploma
qualifications, as well as international GCSEs (globally recognized
qualifications designed specifically for international learners)
and advanced level examinations. BTECs are career-focused
qualifications taken by over 1 million learners each year and are
recognized in more than 70 countries around the world. Upon
completion of the one-year program at the ACG International Arts
Foundation Program Center, students will receive a BTEC Diploma and
be eligible to apply for certain sophomore courses during their
first year of college, primarily at undergraduate arts colleges in
the United Kingdom and other countries, as BTEC foundation course
credits can be converted and applied as credits in
universities.
Management
CommentaryMr. Kevin Ma, Chairman and CEO of ACG,
stated, “We are excited to announce the grand opening of our ACG
International Arts Foundation Program Center in Beijing, which
expands our offerings to a greater population of students from
diverse backgrounds, specifically high school students who are
passionate about pursuing higher education in creative arts and
applying for overseas art schools. ACG is pleased to have obtained
approval for delivering BTEC diploma qualifications with this
curriculum currently being offered at the ACG International Arts
Foundation Program Center. Many well-known international arts
colleges require students have a minimum of one year enrollment in
arts-related courses, and the ACG International Arts Foundation
Program Center ensures that students meet these basic requirements
while providing academic and emotional support. It is a tailored
solution to this population of students, and we look forward to
bringing them a well-rounded educational experience.”
Mr. Ma continued, “The ACG International Arts
Foundation Program Center is ACG’s first learning center to deliver
full-time accredited foundation courses. Our existing national
network of over 20 locations have provided extracurricular courses
and more flexible course offerings. We continue to explore ways in
which we can better serve students coming from diverse academic
backgrounds. Our goal is to help students realize their dreams of
attending top arts schools all over the world.”
