Partner School Network
Does your school share this vision?
NextGen Global Leaders China works with institutions that see international experiences as part of how students are formed — not simply as travel. That is why new partnerships begin with an institutional application.
What we look for in a partner school
Global outlook
Openness to international experiences and different perspectives.
Student development
Interest in developing autonomy, cultural repertoire and maturity.
Educational purpose
International experiences connected to formative objectives.
Family partnership
The ability to engage responsibly with families.
Collaboration
Willingness to build the project together between institutions.
We don't select schools because of prestige. We look for educational alignment.
How it works
- 01
Institutional application
The school shares initial information.
- 02
Alignment review
The NextGen team reviews the school's profile, context and objectives.
- 03
Conversation
A conversation takes place between both teams.
- 04
Partnership design
Where there is alignment, the partnership model and a possible delegation are designed together.
- 05
Partner school
The partnership is formalised.

- Brings the school closer to universities, companies and global leaders
Partner school application
Share some institutional information so we can begin the alignment review.
Submitting an application starts the alignment review process and does not represent automatic approval or formalisation of a partnership.
NextGen Learning Architecture
This is not a study tour.
It is a learning journey.
A proprietary methodology that turns a sequence of visits into a pedagogical path with intention, mediation and outcome.
- 01See
See transformation at scale.
Students observe technologies, companies, cities and systems working in the real world.
- 02Understand
Understand what sits behind it.
Universities, researchers, professionals and leaders provide context and interpretation.
- 03Experiment
Experience the technology.
Hands-on interaction with AI, robotics, humanoids, autonomous systems and drones.
- 04Connect
Meet the people building the change.
Conversations with professionals, university communities and international perspectives.
- 05Create
Turn observation into ideas.
In teams, students identify problems, design solutions, develop concepts and present them.
- 06Reflect
Turn experience into learning.
Guided reflection on what surprised them, what challenged their beliefs and what shifted.
See → Understand → Experiment → Connect → Create → Reflect
Student Care System
Extraordinary experiences

An international experience with teenagers requires more than a good itinerary. It requires preparation, supervision, prevention and human care.

The itinerary may evolve.
The standard of the experience will not.
The program is built with universities, companies, experts and international institutions. Agendas, organisations, speakers and activities may be adjusted due to institutional availability, operational matters, safety or local circumstances.
- Institutional availability
- Operational needs
- Safety
- Local circumstances
If a planned experience cannot take place, the program may be reorganised or replaced with an activity of equivalent profile, relevance and quality, preserving its pedagogical objectives.
