Global Childhood Academy (GCA), a leader in high-performing early learning operations across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), has entered into a strategic partnership with education investors Neue Education (Switzerland) and Valian (US)
Founded 18 years ago, GCA is the region’s leading full-service provider of early years learning services for institutions and educators in the GCC and Africa. Through its award-winning Arabian Child Training Institute, GCA delivers accredited training, upskilling, and hiring opportunities for pre-school educators. The organization also created a world-class bilingual Arabic/English curriculum used by leading nurseries in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Kenya, and other markets. In addition, GCA provides advanced online learning technology, its proprietary white-label LMS package, tailored to client needs.
Neue and Valian bring a collective track-record in creating and scaling innovative schools worldwide — including Rocket Productions (UK), HudsonWay Immersion School (New York City), Kindred Nurseries (UK), School of Tomorrow (Switzerland), GEMS Education (GCC) and other pioneering education models across multiple markets.
This partnership unites GCA’s deep regional expertise and operational record with Neue and Valian's global portfolio and investment capability. Together, the organizations will drive the expansion of world-class early childhood education across the GCC and beyond — combining operational excellence, advanced teacher training, and globally benchmarked curriculum innovation.
“Global Childhood Academy has served the early childhood sector for more than 18 years. Partnering with Neue and Valian, two organizations that both share our appetite for innovation and execution, positions us to set a new benchmark for quality and impact in the region,” said Dr. Samia Kazi, Co-Founder and Chief Operations Officer of Global Childhood Academy.
“It is rare to find the combination of a renowned, deeply experienced operating team and a market positioned for hyper-growth. Through our capital and operational expertise, we are excited to support GCA’s highly experienced leadership team to take advantage of this strategic opportunity in the early years education sector, particularly in Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC,” said Nicolas Gautier, from Neue Education
The alliance will focus on:
