Education

Students are a lot like investors – they’re seeking the best ROI for their tuition dollars. At Summer Street, we’re looking to invest our capital in career schools that are affordable for students, that fit their lifestyles, and that prepare them to secure promising careers in growing industries. While we have a focus on schools in the allied health and skilled trades sectors, we are interested in hearing from any school with compelling value and a focus on quality education, as well as companies offering products and services targeting the K-12 and post-secondary education industries.

When it comes to investing in highly regulated industries like education, compliance is a critical success factor. We understand the regulations and the requirements of accrediting agencies, and we’ve invested heavily to assure excellence in compliance. Summer Street can provide growth capital to build your institution or company through complementary acquisitions, development of greenfield campuses, or new product lines. We can also help your organization roll into a larger one – allowing you to gain the benefits of critical mass right away. And when you’re ready to reap the rewards of your life’s work, we can structure a transaction to purchase some or all of your shares.
