GFH Capital, a subsidiary of GFH Financial Group, has agreed to acquire a majority stake (80%) in a leading, Dubai-based private school.
The School was established in 2004 and is located in close proximity to Sharjah. Over 1,600 international students are currently enrolled at the School and are educated in the British curriculum. Building on its strong reputation, the School has reported steady growth in enrollment year on year, a trend which is expected to continue in line with the growing demand for high quality, international standard education in the UAE and across the MENA region.
Hisham Alrayes, Managing Director of GFH Capital, said "we are delighted to grow our education portfolio with the acquisition of another leading private school in Dubai. The School provides education utilizing the high quality British curriculum for which we are seeing a significant rise in demand. The need and willingness of parents to spend on world-class education, coupled with economic and population growth in Dubai, makes this sector and transaction an attractive one that is expected to provide GFH Capital and our co-investors with high yield and double digit returns."
GFH's strategy is focused on investing in cash yielding opportunities in defensive sectors, such as education, that have sound growth potential. In May 2014, GFH Capital acquired a Dubai based, American curriculum private school offering K-12 education to a student body of more than 1,300 pupils and growing.
