Rymarz Zdort Maruta advises on sale of Akademeia Educational Group

We are pleased to announce that we advised the founders of Akademeia Educational Group (“AEG”), which is active in the education sector and operates Akademeia High School in Warsaw (“AHS”) on the sale of AEG to International Schools Partnership (“ISP”). This is another investment by ISP in the Polish market and another recent transaction in the education sector on which we have advised the sellers.

Akademeia High School is an international, academically selective school in Warsaw, being part of Akademeia Educational Group (AEG) and offering an individualised course of British iGCSEs and A Levels. Akademeia High School prepares its students to study at the best universities worldwide.

International Schools Partnership is an educational and commercial organisation that aims to bring together and develop privately funded educational units for children aged 2 to 18. ISP currently operates 80 schools in 22 countries located in many parts of the world.

“The private school sector in Poland, despite its rapid growth in recent years, has so far not been the subject of much interest from institutional investors. It seems that the situation may change in the coming years, and our participation in another large transaction and other projects in which we are currently involved in the education sector seem to confirm this trend. We would like to thank our clients for their trust in us and the opportunity to participate in this project.”, says Paweł Zdort, managing partner at Rymarz Zdort Maruta.

The transaction team consisted of: Paweł Zdort (partner), Paweł Mazur (senior associate) and Karol Wojtkowski (associate).
