Romania Education Alliance (REA), the first national initiative focused on developing private education in Romania, has announced an ambitious investment plan of over 20 million euros by 2028. The goal is to unite more than 15 private schools from major cities across the country under its umbrella. To support this expansion and strengthen its public profile, REA has formed a strategic communications partnership with independent agency Pi2.
Founded in 2024 by education entrepreneurs Anca and Dan Macovei Vlăsceanu, in partnership with Morphosis Capital — the majority shareholder and a growth investment fund — Romania Education Alliance (REA) serves as a platform for scaling, investment, and operational development for high-performing private schools. Through REA, partner schools gain access to growth capital, international academic standards, cutting-edge educational resources, expert management support, and ongoing teacher training programs.
“Private education needs robust infrastructure, professional leadership, and a long-term vision. REA meets these needs with a business-driven solution that empowers independent schools to accelerate their growth while maintaining their local identity and autonomy,” stated Anca Macovei Vlăsceanu, CEO of Romania Education Alliance.
REA’s vision is to build a cohesive, interconnected network of independent schools united under the “Stellar Education” model—an approach rooted in academic excellence, innovative teaching, collaboration, and a student-first philosophy.
Currently, REA includes two flagship institutions: Mark Twain International School and Little London International Academy. Between 2025 and 2028, the network plans to expand into key cities such as Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Timișoara, Brașov, Sibiu, and Constanța. REA is seeking partnerships with existing private schools that aim to scale up, enhance their educational offerings, and align with international best practices.
“With over €20 million in planned investments over the next few years, REA represents a unique opportunity for school founders seeking to grow faster, leverage globally validated expertise, and join a long-term educational ecosystem. This is not just about capital — it’s about forming strategic partnerships that combine financial resources, operational excellence, and academic leadership,” said David Masculic, CFA, Investment Manager at Morphosis Capital.
