About KSE

KSE Global

Founded on a commitment to fostering educational equity and access while promoting academic excellence, KSE Global serves as the gateway to a world of opportunities for students seeking to enhance their academic skills. KSE partners with top-tier academic institutions, professors, and researchers worldwide.

Since 2012, KSE Global has provided a range of learning enrichment solutions for students through its MasterScholar summer programs, Connect pathway admissions programs, math camps, and the new veriii Research Skills Certificate Program. KSE's enrichment programs cover more than 150 subject areas, connecting students with professors drawn from KSE’s network of hundreds of distinguished faculty from the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere.

As a pioneer in international education, KSE established its Liberal Arts Summer Programs in 2012 and began introducing U.S. higher education pedagogy to educators in China. At the same time, KSE began offering personalized, one-on-one project-based academic research programs, connecting students directly with KSE's network of distinguished faculty. Innovations like these have helped KSE Global become a trusted provider of academic enrichment programs, creating a launchpad for expanding its offerings to students around the world.

As of 2024, more than 6,000 students have participated in KSE Global academic programs, conducted in collaboration with faculty from institutions like New York University and Duke University. KSE continues to expand its global reach, offering rigorous, innovative, and student-centered enrichment opportunities to learners everywhere.
