Investor Partnerships

Make it stand out

For educational investors, selecting the right partner with whom to launch a school is the most important decision in your development strategy. Ashvale works with partners who share a commitment to delivering a modern, globally British preparatory school education for younger children.

Our ambition is to establish a network of sought-after schools around the world and to become thought leaders in the field of primary education. We hope you will see the benefits of partnering with a purposeful and innovative organisation that lives and breathes learning.

Why work with Ashvale?

Ashvale Schools is looking for partners who share our commitment to delivering modern, globally British education tailored around the needs of younger children. Our schools are founded for the long term, with the aim of becoming regional thought leaders that innovate and promote debate in the field of primary and middle school education.

While based on a shared educational philosophy, each school will develop its own character and traditions – building on 188 years of heritage of British prep school education.

As a small, specialist brand focused on preparatory education, investor partners benefit from flexibility in operating model, depending on the structure of the partnership. Partners own their schools and can engage Ashvale as consultants, licensors or operators.

Ashvale’s primary education experts work very closely with partners’ teams, sitting on the governing boards of each school and implementing a rigorous, optimistic quality assurance programme.

In addition we are focused on forging strong connections between all the Ashvale Schools in the network and with worldwide destination senior schools for our pupils.
