In today's connected world, education is becoming more global. As art crosses borders and new ideas bring cultures together, the College of Chinese & ASEAN Arts (CCAA) stays true to its core values: global vision, high standards, and unique programs. It provides a diverse platform for young people around the world to follow their artistic dreams.
The arrival of the Class of 2025 has brought fresh energy and new cultural perspectives to our lively campus. To guide our new students, we have a team of head teachers who are both globally minded and highly professional.
These teachers have studied at top universities abroad and have rich experience in international education. Many have won awards for their work, and all are skilled in teaching and cross-cultural communication. They will support students in many ways—from academic planning and daily life help to cultural adjustment and personal growth.
With warmth and a strong sense of responsibility, they will help each student find inspiration across cultures, improve their skills through high-quality courses, and shine in their own way through our unique programs.
Let’s now meet the head teachers who will guide, support, and walk alongside our new students on this exciting cross-cultural journey.
