Faria Education Group

What Faria Education Group does

Faria Education Group is a UK-headquartered (London) education technology company founded in 2006 at the University of Pennsylvania by three IB Diploma graduates, with US operations anchored in Portland, OR and additional hubs in Ivano-Frankivsk (Ukraine), Krakow (Poland), Shanghai (China), and Taipei (Taiwan). The company sells an integrated cloud-based platform, branded FariaOne and built on Amazon Web Services, that unifies admissions (OpenApply), learning management (ManageBac+), curriculum planning (Atlas), school-to-home communication (SchoolsBuddy), analytics (SpotLight), and school transport (Vectare) for international K-12 schools and online learning providers. Exclusive development partnerships with International Baccalaureate (Faria is the developer of the IB eCoursework system) and Cambridge International Education, together with more than 20 third-party integrations (iSAMS, PowerSchool, Google, Microsoft, Turnitin, Clever, Wonde), position Faria as a curriculum-embedded platform for IB, British, American, Cambridge, and ICA curricula. Adjacent wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries include Pamoja Education, Oxford Study Courses, Wolsey Hall Oxford (homeschooling), CHQ Group (activities and transport), and Vectare.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market with demo-based enterprise conversion, supplemented by nine named regional channel partners (OneConnect in Africa, DEPI in Indonesia, Talisma in India, IES Corp in Vietnam, Aafaq in the GCC, Gear Education in Cyprus/Greece/Malta, Carter Education in Turkey/Middle East, AIG Education in Australia, Friend Book Library in Bahrain) and integration partnerships with major student information systems. Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions (priced by school size and product tier), tiered support plans (Essential, Standard, Premium), professional learning services (virtual and in-person sessions, coaching, asynchronous courses), and AI education solutions delivered through the AI Academy. The company employs 370+ people across 31 nationalities, supports customers in 11 timezones, claims 99.8% uptime, and has served 10,000+ schools and 4M+ students across 155+ countries. Faria is privately held, backed by TA Associates following a 2022 strategic growth investment, and is led by CEO Oleg Figlin (appointed February 2024, previously at Anthology Inc.).
