BEIJING, July 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Keystone Academy has found an ideal partner in the 21^st Century Cup. This is China's most prestigious national English-speaking competition for Chinese primary, middle, and high schools.

Keystone Academy is the exclusive school partner for the Beijing division of the Thirteenth 21^st Century Cup National Middle School, High School and Primary School English-Speaking Competition. As the co-organizer, Keystone Academy is also the exclusive training venue in Beijing. The thirteenth 21^st Century Cup will be unique.
