Lartin Education

What Lartin Education does

Lartin Education Group, founded in 2016 in Washington, USA, is a Sino-US international education services company that recruits Chinese students into US private high schools and manages them through the full lifecycle abroad. Its core product is the WARMER one-stop backend supervision service system, which combines CSIET-audited homestay placement, academic monitoring, life coaching, psychological counseling, and 24/7 bilingual support for F-1 visa students. The company holds 8 consecutive years of CSIET F-1 certification (2019-2026/2027), acts as exclusive enrollment agency for 100+ US partner high schools across a network of 180+ school relationships, and operates the UHSAA athletic scholarship pipeline.

Lartin's revenue model blends professional services (placement commissions, school brand marketing, agent referral fees) with recurring managed services (WARMER student management subscriptions, homestay placement and ongoing support) and a licensing component (Sino-US cooperative education programs offering single-course, dual-diploma, and branch campus models). GTM is sales-led and B2B2C: the company runs bi-annual 10-day principal delegation trips to China, works through 200+ Chinese recruitment channels (consultants, study abroad studios, language institutions, public and international schools), and operates a global agent program. The company is differentiated primarily by its regulatory standing, two on-campus dormitory JVs (De Sales Hall at St. John Bosco HS since January 2023; Rancho Boarding House at Rancho Christian School since July 2025), and an 11-city cross-border office network (Beijing HQ plus Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenyang, Los Angeles, Boston, Erie). It is a private, founder-controlled company (Lartin Brothers LLC in Washington; Beijing Lartinus Brothers Education Consulting Co., Ltd. in China) with co-founder Martin Wang as the public representative, 7 disclosed employees, no external funding rounds, and revenue not publicly disclosed.
