Founders Professor Paul Yip Kwok-wah and Dr Betty Chan Po-king have followed closely the educational and social developments of Hong Kong, mainland China and overseas regions. Guided by the belief in “life as education”, they have formed a business group with education and culture as core activities. The group also operates commercial projects that are in line with its philosophy of education and culture. And by promoting social and charitable work, the group contributes to the overall development of society.

In the educational and cultural sectors, the group’s business includes international schools, international education schools, international education kindergartens, education research institutes, training centres, publishing houses, information technology companies, and bases of cultural studies in China and Britain.

In the commercial sector, the group’s business includes hotels, travel agencies, properties, and consulting service.

In the social and charitable sectors, the group’s business includes managing and supporting funds, policy research institutes, cultural organisations, and Basic Law promotion projects.
