Globeducate announces the acquisition of PASCAL Education (Cyprus) Ltd., the largest group of K12
English and Bilingual schools in Cyprus, with 3,000 students and 11 schools across three campuses.

This highly respected group of schools, which dominates private mainstream education in Cyprus, joins
Globeducate - one of the world´s leading K12 education groups with 55+ premium bilingual and
international schools, and online programmes, in ten countries.

PASCAL Education focuses on private mainstream education and prepares students for Cambridge
International Examinations and are Pearson Edexcel centres. The group comprises both day and
boarding schools and an accredited International Baccalaureate World School. PASCAL Schools are fully
recognised by the Cyprus Ministry of Education and Culture and the organisation has 350 members of
staff.

The schools include three English-medium kindergartens, three primary English-medium schools, three
secondary English-medium schools and two secondary Greek-medium bilingual schools located across
three campuses in the cities of Lefkosia, Lemesos and Larnaka.

Chief Executive Officer of Globeducate Luca Uva said: “We are very excited to be welcoming PASCAL
Education to Globeducate and to extending our global community to include a new part of the world for
us as a group. We now have schools in 10 countries and are looking forward to working with our new
colleagues in Cyprus.

“Our conversations with the management team of PASCAL Education quickly highlighted many shared
values and goals, and I believe this will be a dynamic and important step in the future growth of both
organisations. Schools in Globeducate specialise in a variety of highly respected international curricula
including the English National Curriculum and International Baccalaureate, as well as national curriculafor Canada, France, India, Italy, Malaysia, Portugal and Spain, and our students achieve high grades andgo on to higher education programmes at 25 of the world´s top 50 universities.”

Mr Pantelis Andreou, President of PASCAL Education (Cyprus) Ltd., said: “We strongly believe that this is
a very positive development that will guarantee the growth of our organisation in Cyprus, modernising
our structures and practices, bringing in new expertise and know-how, and upgrading our services.
“Being a member of Globeducate will bring many benefits to our schools – for our students and
teachers; notably the wide range of international student events organised by Globeducate, including
Model United Nations, Academic Olympics, International Music Festival, Olympic Games, Student
Leadership Conference, and a Visual Arts Festival.
“Our teachers will benefit from being able to join international learning communities focusing on
Outdoor Learning, Reading and STEAM education, and Sustainability, who meet regularly online and
sometimes in person. This gives the scope to share and learn from best practice within the group.”
The transaction was led by Globeducate’s lead legal advisors, Cyprus boutique commercial law firm

their voice in this world. They encourage them to understand world events and to think about their
values and what is important to them, and to challenge ignorance and intolerance wherever they find it.
