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 176th 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 INSIGHTS

The private school M&A market remains active, with recent deals highlighting continued demand for high-quality education assets. In Canada, Globeducate expanded its North American presence with the acquisition of The Clover School in Toronto, underscoring the consolidation trend among premium operators. Internationally, Nord Anglia further extended its reach in Latin America with the purchase of a leading international school in Chile. At the same time, Providence Equity Partners announced a growth investment in Modern Campus, reflecting private equity’s ongoing appetite for education and edtech platforms.

 

These transactions mirror what we are seeing across our mandates: strategic operators and financial sponsors are seeking assets that deliver geographic expansion, program diversification, and resilient student demand. From global groups building scale in new regions to private equity firms backing service providers in adjacent education verticals, the appetite for quality institutions remains strong. For school owners, this environment creates an opportunity to achieve premium valuations, particularly for schools with stable enrollment, strong regulatory standing, and prime locations.

 

At Halladay Education Group, we bring over 40 years of experience advising private school owners through sales, mergers, and strategic partnerships. If you’re considering your next steps—or want a clear view of your school’s market value—we invite you to connect with us to discuss how today’s trends can work to your advantage.

 

If you are weighing a sale or exploring acquisitions in this active environment, we invite you to connect for a confidential consultation. Contact us for a confidential consultation.
