From May 1–3, 2025, the Cranleigh School Education Summit and the 10th-anniversary celebration of its Abu Dhabi campus were grandly held in the capital of the UAE. Cogdel Education Group, along with delegations from its subsidiary schools Wuhan Kangli School and Changsha Kangli School, actively participated in this international educational event. They engaged with global education leaders to explore approaches for academic innovation, reaffirming their commitment to the mission of "cultivating future leaders."

A Decade of Excellence Captivates the World: Eastern Wisdom Enhances Global Collaboration
Since its establishment in 2014, the Craig Abu Dhabi campus has earned the highest rating from the Abu Dhabi Department of Education (ADEK) and was honored with the TES "International School of the Year" award in 2019, driven by its philosophy of "Excellence, Innovation, and Collaboration." The 10th-anniversary celebration gathered educators from Craig campuses worldwide to discuss core topics such as curriculum innovation and teacher development. Cogdel Education Group, alongside its Wuhan Kangli School and Changsha Kangli School delegations, shared insights on integrating local and international educational practices, infusing Craig’s global network with unique Eastern perspectives.

Three Pillars of Educational Innovation: Building a Global Ecosystem
In academic and curriculum collaboration, the four campuses strengthened partnerships in the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) program, shared resources, and conducted joint teacher training. They also launched the "Green Dragon" environmental initiative to embed sustainability into education. For teacher development, training on Abu Dhabi’s data-driven assessment model took center stage, complemented by leadership exchanges, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses, and teacher swaps to empower educators. To nurture students’ global competencies, cross-campus initiatives like the Winter Music Festival, arts and sports collaborations, and gap-year exchange programs were highlighted, broadening students’ horizons and fostering intercultural skills.

Cultural Fusion Celebrates a Decade of Success: Insights to Drive Campus Advancement
At the anniversary gala themed "Boundless Education, A Promising Future," Craig’s global community and parent representatives celebrated a decade of achievements, showcasing the power of collaborative education. The summit provided Cogdel's Wuhan Kangli School and Changsha Kangli School campuses with valuable takeaways: advancing campus sustainability through the "Green Dragon" initiative, optimizing home-school partnerships via dedicated workshops, and adopting Abu Dhabi’s "student-centered" campus design philosophy to inspire cultural innovation.

A Milestone in Global Educational Collaboration
The Craig School Summit served not only as an academic exchange but also as a landmark in global educational cooperation. Seizing this opportunity, Cogdel Education Group and its subsidiaries Wuhan Kangli School and Changsha Kangli School will deepen reforms in teaching, curriculum innovation, faculty development, and cross-cultural engagement. Their goal remains steadfast: to nurture a new generation of talent with global vision, multicultural understanding, and a strong sense of social responsibility, driving enduring progress in education.
