London Gates Education Group is an international educational group that runs educational projects for children and teenagers. The network's centers operate in London, Paris, Tel Aviv, Riga, Belgrade, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Tbilisi, serving more than 2,500 students.

The group was founded in 2010 by Yulia Desyatnikova — a doctor of psychological sciences with more than 30 years of experience in education, and the founder of the international projects London Gates and Gymnasium No. 1. She opened her first proprietary educational center in London.

Over the years, the group has educated more than 4,500 students, and its team includes more than 350 teachers worldwide. Instruction at all centers is conducted in English; the programs are built around the British school system and aimed at continuing education abroad.

Classes are taught by instructors who are practicing professionals in their fields: scientists, journalists, mathematicians, and actors. Candidates are selected for the teaching team based on three criteria:

• A high level of English proficiency — candidates have lived, studied, and worked in Europe and the United States,
• Professional expertise in their subject,
• Successful completion of a series of psychological and pedagogical tests and interviews.

The group's centers offer a trial month of instruction, after which the family meets with the center's team to discuss the child's further educational path.

The psychological support service operates using evidence-based methods, providing individual online consultations with a psychologist for children aged 7 and older and for parents, diagnostic assessments consisting of three sessions, and family consultations.

• In-person educational centers in cities where the network operates, with programs for children and teenagers,
• London Gates Online — an online school with distance-learning programs,
• London Gates Camp — language camps for children and teenagers.

• The academic community brings together scholars, philologists, physicians, programmers, and artists who have been trained as teachers,
• The name of the British examination board Edexcel, with which the group collaborates, is formed from the words Education and Excellence. The board issues more than 1.5 million certificates annually.

• Certified training center of Pearson Edexcel — one of the largest British examination boards,
• Accredited A-Level examination center,
• Classes in groups of up to 12 students with an individual approach to each child.

Enrollment in programs is open throughout the year, subject to availability in a group at the appropriate level. Enrollment for GCSE and A-Level programs opens in August and September of each academic year.

Before classes begin, a free in-person or online interview with the program coordinator is conducted, lasting approximately one hour. Processing results takes three to seven days.

Smapse specialists will guide you through every stage of the enrollment process.

100% of students in the group were admitted to their chosen schools and universities around the world. Graduates pass A-Level exams and continue their education at leading British universities.

Graduates of the educational centers founded by Yulia Desyatnikova have studied at the strongest universities in the United Kingdom and the United States, and work at leading international companies.
