Romania Education Alliance plans €20 million investment in private schools

Business Forum
The Romania Education Alliance (REA) has announced an investment plan exceeding €20 million by 2028, in a move designed to integrate over 15 private schools from major Romanian cities under its umbrella.

REA was founded in 2024 by education entrepreneurs Anca and Dan Macovei Vlăsceanu, in collaboration with investment fund Morphosis Capital, its majority shareholder. 

"Private education needs robust infrastructure, professional leadership, and a long-term vision. REA meets these needs with a business-driven solution that empowers independent schools to accelerate their growth while maintaining their local identity and autonomy," said Anca Macovei Vlăsceanu, CEO of REA.

Currently, REA includes Mark Twain International School and Little London International Academy. Between 2025 and 2028, the network plans to expand into key cities such as Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara, Brașo, Sibiu, and Constanța. 

REA is actively seeking partnerships with existing private schools looking to scale up, enhance their educational offerings, and align with international best practices.
