Private equity firm Gaw Capital Partners announced its strategic investment in NPX Point Avenue, a K-12 education group providing innovative and high-quality educational solutions in Vietnam, on March 3.
The decision to invest in True North International School (TNIS) and Point Avenue, both under the umbrella of the NPX Point Avenue group, extends beyond Gaw Capital’s confidence in the group’s business alone, encompassing the broader landscape of educational development in Vietnam.
The move aligns with Gaw Capital Education Platform’s long-term vision, supported by notable projects across Asia under the same platform.
TNIS is one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial K-12 schools in Vietnam with a focus on its Four Pillars of Excellence: Character, Fitness & Wellness, Academic Rigour, and Global Citizenry, creating an active lifestyle for students centred around healthy choices. TNIS received the Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation for a six-year term, a STEM.org accreditation, and is one of the few schools offering over 15 Advanced Placement courses while serving as a SAT and AP testing centre in the heart of Hanoi’s Ha Dong District.
Herbin Koh, head of Growth Equity Platform at Gaw Capital Partners, said, “This strategic investment symbolises Gaw Capital’s continuous commitment to making responsible investments that generate positive impact on the wider society while balancing our financial interests. We are excited to continue supporting NPX Point Avenue group’s mission to provide quality K-12 education to the next generation of future leaders in Vietnam and beyond.”
Danny Hwang, founder and CEO of NPX Point Avenue, added, “We are thrilled to have Gaw Capital, a top private equity firm focused on Asia, as our majority shareholder and receive their strong endorsement. With such robust backing, NPX Point Avenue can be empowered to deliver elite and comprehensive education, ensuring a solid foundation for students’ academic and professional success.”
Gaw Capital, through its Education Platform, has invested in initiatives such as an early childhood education group in Singapore and Stellart International School of Arts, an international arts school in Southern China. All these ventures demonstrate the firm’s dedication to investing in ways that create positive impact while upholding its financial objectives.
