Thomas Schools of China Since 2017, Ambright Education Group has partnered with institutions including
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology and the
University of Cambridge. Through these partnerships, the Group established K to 12 Thomas Schools of China in
Jinan,
Hefei, Shanghai, and
Nanjing. In 2021, the Group initiated a partnership with the
Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) on a specialised pathway for its students into the college.
AST Examination In 2008, the Ambright Institute of Educational Research collaborated with scholars from the University of Cambridge to develop a standardized test known as the Aptitude Scholastic Test (
AST). Initially designed for Chinese students applying to universities overseas, the test has now been further developed for international applicants and is adopted by a range of universities across the UK, Singapore and China as an evaluation metric for international applicants.
Exchange and practical programs The Group has launched several international exchange initiatives through its research institute. In 2010, it established the Sino-American Youth Ambassadors (SAYA) program. This was followed by the creation of the Ambassador Year in China (AYC) program in 2012. In 2014, the Ambright Institute of Educational Research co-organized the National Youth Model CPPCC. Similar in concept to
Model United Nations, this activity provides an educational simulation of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, including its organizational structure and proposal procedures. As of 2025, the simulation has been held for 12 consecutive editions. == Controversies ==
