August 15, 2025 InnerCircle Private School eNews: Rochester School joins Nord Anglia

Hello Douglas,

Welcome to the 174th 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 global private education sector is experiencing record levels of investment activity, with strategic operators and private equity firms deploying significant capital across K-12, higher education, and student housing. Recent landmark transactions, including Nord Anglia’s expansion into Latin America and Cognita’s entry into U.S. elite sport-academics, highlight the sector’s strong fundamentals and appeal to investors seeking scalable platforms with defensible market positions, diversified revenue, and sustainable growth.

This investor confidence is reflected in HEG’s current mandates. Our Canadian K-12 day/international school recently reached an LOI after a competitive process. At the same time, premium K-12 opportunities continue to attract strong buyer demand across Canadian and U.S. markets, creating favourable conditions for strategic exits. At the same time, our Canadian post-secondary portfolio is drawing significant inbound interest from strategic and financial buyers, reinforcing the sector’s enduring investment thesis.

With over 40 years of operational leadership and a proven record of executing complex transactions across K-12, career colleges, boarding, and post-secondary institutions, Halladay Education Group provides the market insight, network, and disciplined execution needed to navigate today’s environment and maximize value.

For confidential discussions regarding strategic exits, acquisition opportunities, or comprehensive market valuations in today's environment, we invite you to connect with our team. Contact us for a confidential consultation.

To Your Continued Success,
