London’s influence on international education is a matter of record, not sentiment - and it is the ground LAI is built on.
Governance in London
LAI’s academic governance and standards-setting are anchored to its London/UK base.
City & Guilds
LAI’s programmes are accredited by City & Guilds, built on more than 145 years of City & Guilds heritage; LAI awards the accredited programmes.
University of Greenwich
Academic collaboration in teacher education, professional development and school capacity building for teachers at LAI-approved schools.
Academic and quality leadership
UK and global academic and quality-assurance expertise informs how standards are set and held.
The standards-facing identity
London is LAI’s standards- and recognition-facing home, the identity under which accredited programmes are governed and recognised.
International operations
LAI’s operations in Malaysia and other markets are delivery and operational infrastructure that serve schools regionally; they extend LAI’s reach, they do not replace its London standards identity.
