Startup Description
Founded in 2019 by tech veterans Aditya Gupta and Nhu Tran Le Thanh, Schola is on a mission to bridge the communication gap for future generations. This innovative education company offers a unique live, one-on-one class model for children aged four to fifteen. Schola's curriculum focuses on fostering essential skills for success in a globalized future, including communication, public speaking, leadership presentation, and confidence building.
Recognizing the challenges faced by first-generation English learners, Schola tailors its courses to address their specific needs. Their interactive curriculum emphasizes practical application, allowing students to gain fluency through real-life spoken English practice. Schola's reach extends beyond physical borders, currently catering to students in twelve countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, Korea, Japan, and Malaysia. Their vision extends beyond language proficiency. Schola aspires to cultivate a generation of confident, creative, and articulate young individuals.
Schola's mission is particularly focused on empowering children from non-native English-speaking backgrounds. They aim to ensure that a lack of fluency never hinders a child's aspirations for higher education or future career opportunities. By combining a focus on communication skills with a live, interactive learning environment, Schola positions itself as a leader in the global communications education space. Their innovative approach has the potential to equip children across the globe with the necessary tools and confidence to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.
In 2022, Ed-tech platform BrightCHAMPS acquired Schola in a $15 million cash and stock deal.
