Who we are
Bridge International Academies
is the world’s largest and fastest-growing chain of primary and pre-primary
schools with more than 400 academies and 120,000 pupils in Kenya and Uganda. We
democratize the right to succeed by giving families living in poverty access to
the high-quality education that will allow their children to live a very
different life. We leverage experts
, data, and technology in order to
standardize and scale every aspect of quality education delivery, from how and
where academies are built to how teachers are selected and trained, and how
lessons are delivered and monitored for improvement. We are
vertically-integrated, tech-enabled, and on our way to profitability. Bridge
expects to continue rapid expansion in East Africa, and will be launching
operations in Nigeria in September 2015, with India to follow in 2016.
