About
Purpose
ChangeSchool believes in the power of knowledge and skills to change society. Everything we do applies elite education for the benefit of everyone. We have delivered programmes across from Asia Pacific to Latin America.
We partner with higher education institutions, development agencies and local ecosystems to co-create and co-deliver education programmes for faculty, executives, and entrepreneurs.
History
ChangeSchool team started in 2012 at King’s College London (KCL), working with their graduates and academics from engineering and medical faculties to commercialise their innovations, with similar services to University College London and other UK HEIs.
It launched its first international executive education programme for the $7 billion landmark conglomerate in the GCC in 2015, and its faculty development programme on entrepreneurial pedagogy for 22 HEIs in 2017.
Since then, ChangeSchool has developed extensive expertise in innovation and entrepreneurship through delivering acceleration, training, mentoring, and community development programmes for faculty and staff from 156 International Higher education institutions, supported actively supporting 370 start-ups and developed 4726 entrepreneurs and leaders through their programmes.
Today, ChangeSchool London is one of UK’s fastest growing international education institutions, with programmes for executives, faculty, and entrepreneurs in 38 countries.
Here are some of the brands we have worked with.

Team
Our expert faculty come from the UK’s top management schools, including London Business School, Cambridge Judge Business School (University of Cambridge), Bayes Business School (City, University of London), Cranfield University, and King’s Business School (King’s College London) bringing academic rigour and leading research-based insights and inputs.
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
For ChangeSchool, Diversity and Inclusion relate to the similarities and differences between people. This includes not only gender, nationalities, age, sexual orientation, marital status and faith but also the development of the country ecosystems, experience and maturity of the in-country partners, buying power of innovators, social and educational backgrounds, hierarchy within organisations, stage of innovation and cultural power distances. It acknowledges that most individuals do not belong to a single identity group but, in most cases, to several.
By encouraging all our programme participants to be authentic and honest about their identities, we will promote meaningful dialogues leading to innovative approaches to problem-solving and creating options for greater opportunities.
The ChangeSchool leadership team is gender balanced, with over 50% being women and from diverse backgrounds and from four different countries.
