In August, Shanghai Changqing School officially joined the KLESA network and successfully received its Cognia accreditation certificate, becoming another KLESA member school to earn this globally recognized education accreditation.

Cognia is the world’s largest nonprofit education accreditation organization. Its rigorous standards evaluate school governance, curriculum and instruction, faculty development, student support, continuous improvement, and other critical areas. Accreditation confirms that a school’s educational quality meets widely recognized international standards, while its transcripts, credits, and diplomas are accepted by colleges and universities around the world.

Shanghai Changqing School’s Cognia accreditation marks the successful alignment of its international education management, curriculum implementation, and student services with global standards. As part of KLESA, the school will share platform resources and receive comprehensive support in curriculum development, teacher training, domestic and international progression pathways, and global school exchanges. This will create more flexible two-way pathways for students, whether they apply to overseas institutions or pursue leading universities in China.

Looking ahead, KLESA will continue to welcome high-quality partner schools, help international education programs in China align with global standards, and empower more Chinese students to step confidently onto the world stage.
