Develop. Grow. Succeed.
GEC Academy welcomed the 2025 Fall season with a multi-city product launch tour across Shenzhen, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Chengdu, creating spaces for educators, students, and partners to gather around a shared conversation on future-ready learning. The tour unfolded as a series of moments reflecting GEC’s evolving vision for education, one that moves beyond isolated programs to bring research skills, language assessment, global competencies, and innovation-focused learning into a coherent, multi-layered ecosystem. The 2025 Fall launch turned attention to the programs themselves—each designed to meet students where they are, while opening pathways toward where they hope to go.
LuminAI Robocrafters Camp: Learning at the Frontier of AI and Robotics
The LuminAI Robocrafters Camp is a forward-looking STEM program developed with the academic support of the iCANX Global Science Platform and led by faculty from top research universities, including Tsinghua University. Designed for secondary school students, the program places artificial intelligence and robotics at its core, integrating intelligent creation, bio-inspired robotics, engineering challenges, and AI ethics into a hands-on, interdisciplinary learning experience.
Oxford Test of English Advanced: A Smarter Measure of Academic English
The Oxford Test of English Advanced is a computer-adaptive English proficiency assessment developed by Oxford University Press, certified by the University of Oxford, and aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) at the B2–C1 levels. Designed to reflect how English is used in academic and real-world contexts, the test evaluates listening, reading, speaking, and writing through an integrated, flexible format. Its adaptive design allows each candidate to receive a personalized assessment experience, producing accurate and reliable results within a shorter testing time.
GEC Academy serves as the first and currently the only officially authorized partner of Oxford University Press for the Oxford Test of English Advanced in mainland China. At the 2025 Fall launch, GEC Academy formally announced the rollout of the Oxford Test of English Advanced China examination operations and service plan, marking an important step in expanding access to a globally recognized English proficiency assessment for students across the region.
LASER: Building Research Skills for Academic Study
The LASER Award in Research Skills for Academic Study is an officially certified research skills program recognized by the UK’s Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) and the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). Designed to strengthen students’ academic research and writing capabilities, the program provides structured training in research methodology, critical analysis, and academic communication. Through guided inquiry and small-group research projects, students will develop the skills required for independent study and formal academic writing, while aligning their preparation with current UCAS application expectations. Upon completion, the LASER Award may be converted into UCAS Tariff Points, offering both practical academic training and recognized outcomes that support university applications.
Global Skills Project (GSP): Project-Based Learning within the International GCSE Framework
The GSP program is an official project-based learning program within the OxfordAQA International GCSE framework, developed and certified by OxfordAQA. Aligned with the Oxford International Curriculum, the GSP program introduces students at the GCSE stage to structured project-based learning grounded in internationally recognized assessment standards. Through research-driven projects, students will develop essential skills in critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, while learning to apply academic knowledge to real-world contexts.
Beyond the programs unveiled during the tour, GEC also shared a wider landscape of learning possibilities, from academic competitions to winter study journeys that extend learning beyond the classroom. These initiatives reflect an ongoing commitment to meeting students where they are, while opening space for exploration, growth, and long-term development. The 2025 Fall launch will conclude with a flagship gathering in Beijing in January, bringing the conversation full circle as GEC Academy looks ahead—continuing to shape learning pathways that connect curiosity, capability, and a global future.
Take a look back at some of the highlights from the 2025 Fall Product Launch Tour.
