Link Education Centre profile.
From five private students in Nagoya to two branches in Batam — with small classes, close support, and a clear growth plan.
The unit’s journey
Link Education Centre sits within Link Education Group and focuses on non-formal education: tutoring, Calistung, English and Mandarin, and the LINKids Star Program.
Classes run in small groups so every child receives attention, and learning progress is communicated regularly to parents.
