Partners Group launched International Schools Partnership (ISP) with a small management team and a business plan in 2013. From this start-up, Partners Group has since built one of the largest global K-12 education groups, operating over 105 schools across 25 countries globally, with a total pupil population of over 100,000 children
Thematic
Partners Group identified the long-term global demand for high-quality, multi-lingual education at an early stage. In partnership with ISP’s management team, Partners Group has expanded the platform into locations where this demand has the highest growth potential. For example, where a local catchment area has favorable local demographics, a strong demand for quality education, or an important role in the wider economy.
Business building
Over the last decade, Partners Group has built ISP’s business through a combination of organic growth and buy-and-build strategies. Alongside ISP's management team, Partners Group has consistently invested in learning, pupil experiences, teacher professional development, technology, and facilities to deliver on ISP’s commitment to put learners first.
