LingoAce Launches ACE Academy, Expanding from Chinese to K-12 Math and English Language Arts with AI-enhanced Learning
SINGAPORE and SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LingoAce, a leading global provider of online Mandarin Chinese education, today announced its expansion into K–12 core academics with the launch of ACE Academy by LingoAce. This new multi-subject learning platform offers Math, English Language Arts (ELA), and Mandarin Chinese classes through both live online instruction and in-person learning centers worldwide. Built on LingoAce's decade of experience in education and technology, ACE Academy serves K–12 learners with high-quality teacher-led instruction. The curricula align to U.S. school standards, offers flexible scheduling, and AI-powered learning plans that adapt to each student's academic level and progress – maximizing learning outcomes at scale. Since soft launching in 2025, ACE Academy's online Math program achieved a 190% increase in enrollment in the second half of the year, growing primarily through word-of-mouth among parents. In total, it has delivered more than 230,000 classes to over 25,000 students globally. The ELA program continues to expand to support a broader range of grade levels. Meanwhile, ACE Academy opened multiple in-person learning centers in the United States, Australia, and Singapore, with further expansion planned. "What started as an online learning platform for Mandarin Chinese has grown into a globally trusted education partner for core academics," said Hugh Yao, Founder and CEO of LingoAce. "Through years of conversations with families, we've seen how their needs have expanded. Today, parents want high-quality educational solutions that are accessible, deliver measurable results, and can help their children learn with confidence. With ACE Academy, we are building strong foundations in language and math while nurturing curiosity and a lifelong love for learning." Key Educational Challenges Parents Face Today Limited rigor in traditional K–12 education: Instruction designed for large, standardized classrooms often prioritizes coverage over depth. This leaves many students underprepared for future academic success and college admissions. Finite time, energy, and resources: Parents want the best for their children but must balance school, supplemental learning, and a busy life with limited time and budgets. This makes providing consistent, high-quality academic support difficult to sustain. The AI reality check: As AI reshapes education and work, parents question whether traditional academics still matter. Educators and industry leaders increasingly agree that they do: math builds analytical and problem-solving skills, while language learning supports communication and relationship-building. Students with these strong foundations are more adaptable for future opportunities.
