July 15-2026 HEG Inner Circle eNewsletter: Lighthouse Learning Acquires Pathways

Email from Halladay Education Group Inc. Latest News & Updates: KKR-Backed Lighthouse Learning to Acquire Pathways School Gurgaon Volume 196 | July 15, 2026 Published By: Halladay Education Group Welcome To HEG’s Inner Circle eNews A Bi-Weekly Recap of Essential Reading For The Private School Sector PRIVATE SCHOOL SALES | VALUING YOUR SCHOOL | PRIVATE INQUIRIES Hello Douglas, Welcome to the 196th edition of HEG’s Inner Circle Private School eNews, where Halladay Education Group shares key insights into the latest investment activity shaping the global private education sector. HEG MARKET INTELLIGENCE Recent activity confirms the private education M&A market is maturing along two tracks: consolidation among category leaders and strategic bolt-ons that address specific capability gaps. KKR-backed Lighthouse Learning's roughly ₹1,500 crore acquisition of Pathways School Gurgaon set a new valuation benchmark for premium IB schools in India. In contrast, ETS's acquisition of ACT shows that even non-profit assessment giants are pursuing scale to defend their market positions. In Canada, Yorkville University's planned purchase of Beal University's nursing program reflects continued buyer appetite for accredited, healthcare-adjacent credentials, and Lesha Bank's move into Qatar's Sherborne-branded schools underscores growing institutional capital interest in international K-12 platforms. Across these deals, a common thread emerges: buyers are paying up for defensible positioning, whether that's regulatory approval, brand strength, or durable enrolment demand, and are structuring deals around continuity for students and staff. For owners, this is a favourable window, but only for institutions that can demonstrate clean financials and a credible growth story. For buyers, the message is discipline: differentiated assets will command premium multiples. If you're evaluating a sale, acquisition, or recapitalization in 2026, let's schedule a confidential 30-minute call to benchmark your institution against current buyer criteria. Reach out to us for a discreet discussion.

How Is a Private School Actually Valued? The Formula Buyers Use

How Is a Private School Actually Valued? The Formula Buyers Use

If you have ever asked an advisor what your school is worth and gotten a vague answer, here is the direct version. Buyers value a school by taking its adjusted EBITDA and multiplying it by a number that reflects size, risk, and growth. That is the entire mechanic.

July 1-2026 HEG Inner Circle eNewsletter: Heathfield Intl Bangkok joins I

Email from Halladay Education Group Inc. Latest News & Updates: Heathfield International School of Bangkok joins ISP Volume 195 | July 1, 2026 Published By: Halladay Education Group Welcome To HEG’s Inner Circle eNews A Bi-Weekly Recap of Essential Reading For The Private School Sector PRIVATE SCHOOL SALES | VALUING YOUR SCHOOL | PRIVATE INQUIRIES Hello Douglas, Welcome to the 195th edition of HEG’s Inner Circle Private School eNews, where Halladay Education Group shares key insights into the latest investment activity shaping the global private education sector. HEG MARKET INTELLIGENCE The latest wave of transactions tells a consistent story: consolidation in private education is accelerating and spreading across more geographies and segments than ever. Established platforms are extending their reach, adding schools across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America, while well-capitalized groups continue to fold single institutions into larger networks. Two themes are worth watching. First, capital is moving decisively into education-adjacent services. Enrolment technology, admissions platforms, study-abroad providers, and AI-enabled student services are all attracting investment as buyers seek scalable, asset-light exposure to the sector's long-term growth. Second, strategic acquirers and private equity alike are building platforms rather than chasing one-off deals, rolling up complementary businesses to create genuinely defensible scale. Cross-border activity stands out in particular. International school groups are pushing into high-demand markets, and investors are backing operators who can integrate well and rely on durable enrolment demand. For owners, the signal is clear. Buyer appetite is strong, but the best valuations go to institutions with clean financials, defensible positioning, and a credible growth story. For buyers, this cycle rewards discipline. The firms that win will be the ones that scale intelligently and integrate with care. If you're weighing a sale, merger, acquisition, or recapitalization in 2026, assess your positioning before the process starts. Let's schedule a confidential 30-minute call to benchmark your institution against current buyer criteria and identify the value drivers that shape valuation and deal certainty.

How Do I Know When It's the Right Time to Sell My School?

How Do I Know When It's the Right Time to Sell My School?

Here is the direct answer most school owners spend years circling: the right time to sell is before you are forced to. The owners who sell well rarely sell because they ran out of energy, ran out of runway, or ran out of road.

Email from Halladay Education Group Inc. Latest News & Updates: Affinitas Education Acquires Almada International School Volume 194 | June 15, 2026 Published By: Halladay Education Group Welcome To HEG’s Inner Circle eNews A Bi-Weekly Recap of Essential Reading For The Private School Sector PRIVATE SCHOOL SALES | VALUING YOUR SCHOOL | PRIVATE INQUIRIES Hello Douglas, Welcome to the 194th edition of HEG’s Inner Circle Private School eNews, where Halladay Education Group shares key insights into the latest investment activity shaping the global private education sector. HEG MARKET INTELLIGENCE The private education sector is in the middle of a remarkable run of deal-making, happening in nearly every market at once. In recent weeks, Cadence Education crossed 350 schools across the United States with its purchase of Especially for Children in Minnesota, and Dukes Education planted its flag in North America with a Canadian acquisition it calls the first step in a larger push. Inspired Education welcomed new campuses in Grand Cayman and Mexico. Nord Anglia added the International School of Kuala Lumpur. GEMS Education announced a Dh2 billion plan to add 20,000 student seats in Dubai. Even universities are feeling it, with a growing number of UK institutions weighing mergers. If you own a private school, a career college, or a language institute, the headlines all say the same thing. Buyers are active, capital is available, and good schools are changing hands. But the announcements never show you what came first. Every one of those closed deals had to survive the stretch that quietly ends more sales than price ever does, the ninety days between a signed letter of intent and a final closing. If you're weighing a sale, merger, acquisition, or recapitalization in 2026, assess your positioning before the process starts.

Deals Don't Die at the LOI. They Die in the 90 Days After

When an owner signs a letter of intent to sell their school, the celebration usually lasts about a day. Then due diligence begins, and that is where the real test starts. In my experience, a signed LOI is not the finish line. It is the starting gun for the most fragile stretch of the entire sale, the 60 to 90 days when a buyer stops listening to your story and starts re-underwriting your numbers line by line. Most private school sales that collapse do not collapse at the negotiating table.

Who Actually Buys Private Schools in 2026? The Five Buyer Types and How Each One Values Your School

Who Actually Buys Private Schools in 2026? The Five Buyer Types and How Each One Values Your School

If you are thinking about selling a private school in 2026, here is the direct answer to the question most owners never ask until it is too late: there are five distinct types of buyers in the private school M&A market, and each one will put a different price on the exact same school.
