Our mission
Kaplan Pathways offers students from around the world, from diverse backgrounds, the chance to change their lives with an international education.
We understand that international study is a dream for so many, but that navigating it can be complicated. That’s why we’re here to make it simpler and more accessible. By providing tailored support for each individual, at every step in their journey, we help them find the right educational path with empathy and compassion, as well as the confidence to be themselves.
We have an industry-leading portfolio of university partners, and flexible and innovative study options. Our deep roots in the education sector mean that we can offer expert teaching and support, to help all our students get ahead in an ever-changing world. With access to a high-quality education and rewarding cultural experiences, students can prepare for successful careers and fulfilling futures.
Our belief in the power of international education to change lives and societies is the driving force behind everything we do. Students who study internationally gain exposure to other cultures and points of view, and become part of a powerful community. As they grow and develop into global citizens, they can contribute to a more understanding and inclusive world.
We know our students can go on to shape a brighter future, for themselves and for others. We’ve seen them do it. And we’re committed to helping each and every one achieve their full potential.

Where we’ve come from
Kaplan was founded in 1938 by educational pioneer Stanley Kaplan. Stanley initially wanted to go to medical school but was rejected because of ethnic quotas – a sad feature of education in that era. This discrimination left a lasting impression on him, and he eventually began tutoring students to help them pass university entrance exams, allowing them to have the opportunities he didn’t. In the 1940s, Stanley’s fledgling education business began to thrive, and his success led to the creation of a whole new industry.
Today, Kaplan International Pathways guides more than 20,000 students to university each year. Our strong partnerships with universities in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand have opened up amazing educational opportunities to students from across the globe. However, there’s always more to do, and we look forward to carrying this spirit into the future.
How we’re set up
As an education provider, we’re proud of our long track record of investing in education. But we’re not alone. There are other members of the Kaplan International family, outside of Kaplan Pathways. Though each is different, they are all united in their overall goal: to enrich students’ lives through education.
