🌏 K12 International School Partnerships + 2 Weeks to Go Until 'Back to School'
This week, international schools expanded their global reach through key partnerships across Europe, Asia, and Brazil.
Happy Monday 👋
With over 14,000+ international schools worldwide, serving almost 7M students and 665,000 teachers, international schools are a large and growing global business. This week, international schools expanded their global reach through key partnerships across Europe, Asia, and Brazil. Schools in Germany and Asia teamed up with VHS Learning, a US nonprofit, to offer over 250 online courses, including STEM and AP subjects, enhancing traditional curricula in regions like Germany, where fully online education still faces restrictions. In Brazil, Escola Móbile joined the Nord Anglia Education network, becoming the third partner in the country, while The Perse School from the UK announced a new branch in Singapore. These moves reflect a growing trend of schools leveraging global collaborations to diversify and strengthen their educational offerings.
