Alcanta Education Organization Profile

- Private, coeducational with 2 campuses

The Dream For Alcanta In 1993 two men, James Chin and David Cao, were enjoying the scenery of the Scottish Highlands overlooking Loch Ness, one of the most romantic stretches of water in the world. They were discussing their country’s future and how education and training could help their country and their people meet China’s future economic and social challenges.

They completed their education program at the University of Manchester and went back to China.

Four years later, in 1997, their dream became a reality when they set up the Guangzhou Alcanta International Education Center in a downtown Guangzhou office building, offering business and English programs to multinational companies. Over the years since its formation the center has evolved into a highly recognized institution of higher learning with 3,500 students. The school has become well known for its academic excellence, innovative teaching methods, committed teaching and research teams, and much sought-after by students and parents looking for quality education programming.
