BACA was founded in 2011 by St. Elite Art Centre in Beijing. Working as UAL’s (University of the Arts London) official recruitment representative since 1998, BACA represents the first milestone for Chinese students wishing to pursue a career in Europe and China’s art and design world. BACA is the first art academy in China offering an international art and design curriculum and diploma. Our programmes include the Pearson Foundation Diploma, the Pearson Level 3 and 4 Diploma as well as A-Levels in art and design. BACA’s educational philosophy is to encourage our students to develop their district personal identity in art and design with a strong creative edge. We are proud of our teaching experts offering a solid academic background in European art and design as well as hands-on experience as artists, fashion managers or gallerists. Every year BACA’s unique teaching approach helps hundreds of students to receive an offer from their desired University in the UK, USA or Australia. We feel privileged to support young artists during their first steps to becoming independent, confident and self-aware artists and creatives.
