Our Story
Who We Are
World Art Education (WAE) is dedicated to giving students around the world first-class artistic guidance and high-quality study-abroad services. Founded in London in 2018, WAE has branches and partners around the globe. Our team comes from all over the world and brings together renowned artists, designers, education experts and mentors who graduated from top schools abroad, giving students outstanding educational resources and academic support.
We aim to set a new gold standard for students going abroad to study art, and to lead the way as art education evolves worldwide. WAE was founded together with art schools in Europe and the US, leading figures from the creative industries and mentors from top universities. Unlike conventional art tutoring schools and study-abroad agencies, WAE combines a forward-looking approach to making art with foundation courses that sharpen critical and logical thinking, plus personalized study-abroad planning, pioneering a one-stop “Training · Planning · Growth” model built for a new generation of international students.
For every one of our students, we want to be more than a training school: a laboratory for a revolution in thinking, nurturing the people who will define the next era of art.
