The acquisition means Arco will serve another 3,000 private schools and their 650,000 pupils. Listed on the Nasdaq in 2018, its complete portfolio covers 4,800 schools and 1.2 million students. Its main competitor in the sector is Somos, which was acquired by Brazilian education conglomerate Kroton in 2018 for US$920 million.

The group will also keep a company that provides similar education services to those provided by Arco, but which serves public schools instead.
