History

[edit]

Nord Anglia Education was founded in 1972 by Kevin McNeany[3] to teach English as a foreign language. The company grew in the 1970s to the 1980s before moving into the UK education market. Soon after, it entered the Eastern and Central Europe market. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the group also built up a day care and nursery business in addition to its Learning Services arm.[4]

In 2003, Andrew Fitzmaurice became CEO. By 2008, the company had sold its nursery business and mainly focused on international schools.[5]

In 2012, the group relocated to Hong Kong to complement growth plans in China and Southeast Asia. In 2013, it bought World Class Learning Group,[6] with schools in the United States, Qatar and Spain.[7]

The company's initial public offering took place on March 26, 2014, on the NYSE.
