America Academy Association's mission statement: We devote ourselves in improving the English education in China. Today in China, there's a lot of people find out the importance of learning English. But they don't have enough English teachers from foreign countries. To ameliorate the situation, we founded an educational institution in China in 1998. In the past six years, it successfully introduced more than 500 English teachers into China from all over the world. To convenience our works in America, we founded another educational institution in L.A. last year. We will carry on our work to introduce more America teachers to China.
