HEG INSIGHTS Recent activity in the education M&A space underscores growing investor confidence across early learning and K–12 sectors. In early childhood education, Harvest Partners acquired a majority stake in The Learning Experience (TLE) from Golden Gate Capital, a network of over 430 centers with proprietary curriculum and digital content. Golden Gate retains a minority stake, and TLE’s founder continues to run operations, signalling a strong alignment between financial and strategic objectives. Across the pond, Box Hill School in Surrey has joined the Reigate Grammar School Group, relaunching as RGS Surrey Hills. The deal preserves the school’s identity and leadership while unlocking deeper resources, expanding academic pathways (including A-Levels and IB), and enhancing operational resilience. Other notable transactions include the $47.5 million sale of Sprott Shaw College in British Columbia and an $85 million earnings boost at The Institute of Education following its acquisition by Dukes Education. These deals highlight a broader trend toward consolidation, brand elevation, and the adoption of scalable education models. Buyers and investors are increasingly targeting institutions with strong market positioning, resilient academic offerings, and clear opportunities for growth through digital innovation or international expansion. At Halladay Education Group, we don’t just track what’s happening in the education market. We help our clients act on it. Whether you're exploring the sale of a private K–12 school or navigating a cross-border acquisition, we work closely with school leaders and investors to find the right path forward.

HEG INSIGHTS Private education continues to draw strong interest from investors worldwide, with a steady flow of deals across K-12, edtech, and vocational training. Recent activity highlights a clear trend: buyers see education as both resilient and scalable. In the UK, two Cognita schools were acquired by a new education group, reflecting consolidation in the premium K-12 sector. King's College School Wimbledon is opening a new campus in Abu Dhabi, while Hercules Capital acquired Quality Transport Training, signaling growing demand for specialized vocational programs. On the tech side, Bytedance acquired the U.S.-based reading platform Epic for $95 million, highlighting the value global buyers place on Western curricula and digital tools. Institutional players, such as Blackstone, HarbourVest, and Pantheon, are gaining exposure through secondary investments, including those in the Yale endowment portfolio. Even high-profile entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos are launching or backing schools, underscoring a long-term belief in education’s impact and potential. At Halladay Education Group, we turn this kind of insight into action. Whether advising on the sale of a private K-12 school or managing international mergers and acquisitions, we help clients stay ahead of market shifts and position themselves for success.
