ANNOUNCING LAUNCH OF THE ACADEMY OF CREATIVE EDUCATION

Dundee, March 17, 2022: Arts Institute Keass (AIK) has become the Academy of Creative Education (ACE). ACE now functions as an all-level certification board. This means that we standardise and franchise all curricula to our approved study centres across Asia and are continually expanding globally. ACE Qualifications cover all levels from primary to higher education and professional development (CPD), with three categories – Co-curricular Activities, Short Courses and Academic Curricula – to meet the needs of learners of all ages.

ACE works with many universities in the UK, Europe and China. These universities work with us by recognising our qualifications and admitting our exceptional young alumni.

After many years of notable success in delivering our foundation and pre-masters courses in China, Arts Institute Keass (AIK) has undergone a total restructuring. From 2016 AIK was solely a higher education provider, which helped many Chinese students progress to art and design courses in the UK; students progressed through our pathway courses, with the support of our UK (HEI) partners. As of early 2022, Arts Institute Keass is now the Academy of Creative Education (ACE) operated by Keass Ltd. The Academy of Creative Education has dramatically expanded its scope compared to AIK’s previous business model. As we expand our reach, we can continue to promote our partnered institutions and foster further innovation and research into education, industry, art, and design.

ACE prides itself on its ability to live up to its motto of “Nurturing Creativity, Educating Globally”. We look forward to cultivating more creativity and innovation with the help of our partners, our study centres, staff and, at the core of our enterprise, our students. Our mission is to “strive for an internationally implemented framework in creative education which foregrounds the necessity for creative thinking, problem-solving and interdisciplinary innovation.”

By igniting the spark of creativity, the future will brighten, one creation at a time.
