About WAE
Who We Are
Founded in London in 2018, WAE (World Art Education) is dedicated to giving students around the world first-class artistic guidance and outstanding study-abroad support. Our team brings together artists, designers, education experts and mentors who graduated from top schools abroad.
Unlike traditional tutoring schools and study-abroad agents, WAE combines a forward-looking approach to making art with foundation courses in creative and logical thinking, pioneering a one-stop “Training · Planning · Growth” model built for a new generation.
We're not just a training school. We're a lab for a revolution in thinking — shaping the people who will define the next era of art.
