Does high academic performance guarantee success in your overseas studies?
Not necessarily.
Academic achievements notwithstanding, a Chinese student's intellectual abilities can be hindered by a lack of required skills and tools to achieve academic success in a culture very different from China.
GLOBE is custom designed to address those issues.
why work with us?
We have 40+ combined years in China
The Timing Has Never Been Better
Going global in your academic pursuits just makes sense: it’s a life enriching experience, you’ll gain increased tolerance to change, greater self-awareness, better your decision-making skills, and get a jumpstart on building critical business networks. The global village is desperate for global-minded residents with the courage to live locally, nationally, and internationally.
Are you ready?
Three-Pronged Approach
You’ll be introduced to the necessary academic, social, and personal skills to succeed in an American or Canadian school, allowing you to adapt smoothly and confidently to cultural norms and expectations.
Because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Self-Paced and Accessible
GLOBE was originally conceived as a 3-week in-person program. Then the coronavirus changed all of that. Moving it online allows for further reach and accessibility for students who may not have been able to attend a live session.
Go at your own pace from wherever you are and whenever you have time.
But you'll still benefit from live face-time with one of our instructors. More on that later.
