- ATWIN

ATWIN Education, a social enterprise rooted in educational research, is dedicated to providing personalized learning and innovation education to global youth.

ATWIN's curricula, developed by professors and graduates from Harvard and MIT, aim to help students unlock their potential, foster intrinsic motivation, and transform learning into a passion-driven adventure.

Mission & Vision

Protect Curiosity and Ignite Passion:

Our aim is to transform learning into a passion-driven adventure, rather than a compulsory task or rigid mold.

Honor Individuality and Unlock Potential:

We believe that every individual harbors unique talents, and fostering their journey to unlimited potential is the core of innovation education.

ATWIN Learning Philosophy

ATWIN’s learning approach is built on three pillars — Inquiry-Based, Discovery-Based, and Practice-Based Learning— designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and real-world problem-solving.

Inquiry-Based Learning: Students learn by asking questions and exploring ideas that matter to them.

Discovery-Based Learning: Through hands-on projects, students experiment, explore, and make connections across disciplines.

Practice-Based Learning: Students apply what they learn in real-world settings — turning knowledge into action and ideas into impact.
