Cupertino, Calif., June 19, 2025 — Ambow Education Holding Ltd. (NYSE American: AMBO), a global leader in EdTech and AI-driven phygital innovation, has announced a strategic partnership with University of the West (UWest) to expand access to U.S.-based higher education for international students. The partnership leverages Ambow's HybriU Education platform, which combines physical and digital learning environments to deliver real-time courses directly from UWest's U.S. campus to remote students worldwide [1].

Through this collaboration, UWest will utilize the HybriU platform to enhance its ability to serve a broad global student base and continue to enroll international students who may face travel or visa-related challenges. The platform enables seamless interaction and collaboration between faculty, on-site classroom learners, and remote students, ensuring academic continuity and student support standards [1].

Together, we're empowering students worldwide to begin their academic journey without delays caused by visa restrictions—offering the same rigorous curriculum and fully accredited outcomes as their peers on campus" [1].

HybriU goes beyond traditional video classrooms by integrating lecture capture, connectivity, AI, 3D immersive technology, and teaching evaluation into one plug-and-play platform. This allows instructors to focus on teaching while AI manages the technology in the background. Physical classrooms are transformed into connected spaces that seamlessly integrate on-site and remote learners, offering an experience that closely mirrors being physically present [1].

University of the West, located in Rosemead, California, is a private, nonprofit university recognized for its values-driven approach to whole-person education. With a commitment to intercultural understanding and global engagement, UWest prepares students for success in today’s dynamic and interconnected world. International students make up a significant part of UWest’s student population, and the integration of the HybriU platform into its instructional model will better support remote learners and expand its global reach [1].

This partnership underscores Ambow's commitment to leveraging technology to make education more accessible and inclusive. By providing a high-quality, immersive learning experience, Ambow and UWest are poised to attract and serve a diverse, global student base.
