Providence- and Wendel-backed Nuevo Ágora acquires Karalienės Mortos school and Vaikystės sodas
Spanish education group Nuevo Ágora Centro de Estudios — controlled by Providence Equity Partners and Wendel — has been cleared to acquire 100% of Karalienės Mortos mokykla, which runs education from pre-school through to the International Baccalaureate, and of kindergarten operator Vaikystės sodas. The notification was filed on 20 July; terms were not disclosed.
Our take
A global PE-backed education platform buying two Lithuanian private schools is the clearest possible answer to whether foreign buyers look at businesses this size here. They do — when revenue is recurring, the brand is strong and the model travels. Premium education is subscription economics in disguise, and international consolidators have noticed.
