Oakley’s investment in Affinitas is our seventh platform deal in the education sector.
Oakley Capital has invested in Affinitas Education, a company set up to create a new, global K12 schools group. Having completed its first three acquisitions in Spain and Mexico, today Affinitas comprises 18 premium, private schools educating more than 14,000 students. The company continues to review a large and growing pipeline of active opportunities across Europe and the Americas.
K12 education is an attractive c.$3.5 trillion international market with strong, long-term growth drivers. Global private-pay schooling represents c.11% of this spend, and is expected to grow 7% p.a. through to 2030 as families prioritise education spending. At the same time, globalisation is driving demand for English speaking education as a path to international universities and high-paying professions.
