Griggs Education was recently invited to attend the Beijing and Shenyang stops of the 2025 Fall University Education Fair, jointly organized by the U.S. Embassy in China, the U.S. Consulate General in Shenyang, and EducationUSA. The fair brought together over 70 renowned American universities and authoritative educational institutions, providing students with an important platform to connect with international higher education resources.

Mr. Harry Lee, CEO of Griggs China, and Mr. Joe Yan, Chief Operating Officer of Griggs China, were present at the event, offering detailed explanations and professional consultations to visiting students and parents about the Griggs American High School Diploma Program and the Drucker Leadership Study Camp. Their presence fully demonstrated Griggs' professionalism and international standards.

Among the many American higher education institutions, Griggs stood out as a unique representative in the K12 sector. Its innovative American high school program attracted significant attention from families seeking educational transformation. Many parents expressed that their children's individualized growth needs are often overlooked within the current exam-oriented framework. In contrast, Griggs' flexible credits, diverse assessments, and customized learning pathways open up a distinct growth track for their children.

"We are particularly gratified to see that many students who performed averagely in traditional evaluation systems have found confidence and motivation in learning at Griggs," said CEO Mr. Harry Lee. "The core of our program lies in respecting individual differences, allowing students to choose their direction based on their interests and strengths, and replacing the 'one-exam-determines-all' approach with continuous process evaluation. This is the essence of quality education, aimed at unleashing the underestimated potential of every student."

During the fair, the "Global Youth Leadership Camp" held at the Drucker School of Management in California, launched by Griggs, garnered significant attention. The program deeply integrates the classic ideas of Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, and establishes an innovative system combining "theoretical study" and "practical empowerment." Participants will not only systematically learn cutting-edge leadership theories but also enhance their cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and global leadership skills through a series of immersive experiences, including interactions with international students, visits to top universities, and in-depth cultural exploration.

"We believe that true education lies in helping young people define the future, not just adapt to it. In this closely interconnected world, academic excellence is a form of 'hard power,' but broad vision, the courage to innovate, and a sense of responsibility are the decisive 'soft skills,'" emphasized COO Mr. Joe Yan. "Our leadership program aims to build these core qualities, cultivating future leaders who can truly step onto the world stage through the integration of knowledge and action."

Another important takeaway from this trip was the direct access to the latest authoritative information on studying in the U.S. and visa applications. These valuable first-hand materials will directly empower the college advisory teams of partner schools, enabling them to provide more timely and targeted professional support for students in planning their paths, applying to prestigious universities, and successfully passing visa interviews. The visa officer clearly stated during the event that the US welcomes Chinese students to apply for study, short-term exchange, and summer/winter camp programs. He reiterated that as long as applicants provide authentic and accurate materials and can demonstrate compliance with relevant visa requirements, they are usually granted visas smoothly.

This participation not only effectively enhanced Griggs' brand influence in the international education sector but also provided valuable market insights and collaboration opportunities for future development. Mr. Harry Lee concluded, "We clearly see the significant growth in Chinese families' demand for diversified and personalized education. In the future, Griggs will adhere to a dual-track approach: on the one hand, fully leveraging the advantages of American education in critical thinking and innovation; on the other hand, deeply integrating with the educational needs and cultural context of China to tailor truly integrated, future-oriented education solutions for Chinese students."

It is foreseeable that as the international education market becomes increasingly diverse, Griggs, with its unique curriculum system and forward-looking educational philosophy, will carve out a distinctive development path in China's international education landscape.
