It started with a clear mission – to create exceptional academic and cultural experiences.

CL Global Academy was founded in 2009 by Allen and Katrina, who share a passion for education, travel and cultural experiences. They first met in Cambridge when they were just 20 and 18 years old respectively, and both fell in love with the city and its opportunities. Over the last 15 years, they have travelled the world, forged international connections and created a company together that keeps the student experience at its heart.

OxCam Programmes now welcomes students from all over the world to enjoy unparalleled educational experiences in Cambridge, create lasting memories and build connections that last a lifetime. Each course is meticulously designed so that students can pursue and refine their own interests and situate their learning within a global context, all while enjoying authentic cultural experiences that expand their worldview.

The CL Global Academy team has grown over the years and now has established bases in the UK, Shanghai and the US. Together we embody our company's mission through our unwavering dedication and international collaboration – striving each day to deliver impactful, inspiring and innovative educational opportunities across the world.

To date, Allen continues to serve as CEO (internally referred to as the Chief Student-Centered Officer), while Katrina holds an advisory role.
