Expanding Private School Network in Romania: Romania Education Alliance Unveils 20 Million Euro Investment Plan
The Romania Education Alliance (REA), a collaborative network of private schools founded in 2024 by education entrepreneurs Anca and Dan Macovei Vlăsceanu, has announced a significant investment plan aimed at expanding its presence across the country[1][2][3]. Backed by the majority shareholder Morphosis Capital, REA plans to invest over €20 million by 2028, with the goal of integrating more than 15 private schools into its network[1].
The expansion strategy targets key Romanian cities, including Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara, Brașov, Sibiu, and Constanța, between 2025 and 2028[1][2]. Currently, REA includes Mark Twain International School and Little London International Academy. The alliance is actively seeking partnerships with existing private schools that wish to scale up, improve educational quality, and align with international best practices[1].
REA's approach is designed to empower independent schools to grow while maintaining their identity and operational autonomy. Schools within the alliance benefit from access to growth capital, global best practices, innovative educational tools, and ongoing training for teaching staff[1]. This strategy reflects a long-term, scalable vision to strengthen the private education sector with professional leadership and better-resourced schools[1][2][3].
To support its expansion and amplify its presence, REA has entered a strategic communications partnership with independent agency Pi2. David Masculic, Investment Manager at Morphosis Capital, views the initiative as a unique opportunity for education entrepreneurs[4]. The investment aims to build a nationwide network of high-performing independent schools that follow the "Stellar Education" model, emphasizing high academic standards, modern teaching methods, collaboration, and student success[5].
Anca Macovei Vlașceanu, CEO of Romania Education Alliance, stated that private education needs robust infrastructure, professional leadership, and a long-term vision. REA's solution empowers independent schools to achieve these goals while preserving their unique identities[5]. This investment and expansion plan mark a significant step towards transforming the private education landscape in Romania, fostering growth, and setting a new standard for educational excellence.
