Flying English is a boutique language school in downtown Shanghai founded in 2015 by two mothers—a former chemical-engineer-turned-entrepreneur and a business consultant—who were disappointed with existing after-school options. Partnering with an education consultant, they set out to raise the bar for young learners.
“I received offers from many schools when I first got to Shanghai, but I’m incredibly happy I chose Flying English. Everyone here truly cares about making a difference. - Tina”
