Greenwich Education Group

What Greenwich Education Group does

Greenwich Education Group (GEG) is a privately held education management organization founded in 2004 by Victoria Newman and headquartered at 201 High Ridge Road in Stamford, Connecticut. GEG operates a platform of three NEASC-accredited, co-ed, independent day schools: Links Academy (grades 6-12), which delivers individualized one-on-one college preparatory instruction including AP and UConn Early College Experience coursework and is NCAA-eligible; The Pinnacle School (grades 2-12), a state-licensed Connecticut Special Education School serving students with complex learning challenges; and The Spire School, a state-licensed Connecticut Special Education School that combines AP and ECE academics with a health and wellness curriculum for students experiencing anxiety, avoidance, executive function difficulties, or depression.

Under the GEG umbrella, the organization layers complementary professional services onto the school platform: Day and Boarding School Advisory Services, College Consulting (college list creation, essay support, interview prep, application management), Executive Function coaching (planning, organization, time management, metacognition), and a Learning and Development Center providing PreK-12+ tutoring and test prep (SAT, ACT, ISEE, TACHS, GED) delivered virtually, in-person, or in-home. Pedagogical technology rests on evidence-based multi-sensory reading interventions (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, PAF, Slingerland, Lindamood-Bell) combined with proprietary individualized curricula.

GEG earns revenue across two mechanics: recurring K-12 tuition across the three day schools (with Pinnacle and Spire drawing on Connecticut special-education funding pathways) and fee-for-service professional revenue from educational consulting, college consulting, tutoring/test prep, and executive function coaching. The customer base is overwhelmingly direct-to-consumer, targeting Connecticut and broader Northeast families whose students have learning differences, ADHD, executive-function challenges, anxiety-related school avoidance, or who are navigating selective private-school and college admissions. Distribution is relationship-driven, relying on family referrals, professional networks, and the company's digital footprint. The organization employs 101-250 staff and is wholly owned and operated by its founder, with no parent company, private equity backing, or institutional investors disclosed.

Direct peers

Most directly comparable to The Pinnacle School and The Spire School in mission, student profile, and specialized instructional model.

Broad incumbents

Comparable to GEG's Learning and Development Center in core tutoring/test prep service category, but at much broader scale and without the LD specialization.

Emerging players

• PrepScholar: Tech-enabled online test prep and college admissions platform offering adaptive SAT/ACT prep. Comparable to GEG's Learning and Development Center test prep services, but with a lower-cost, self-serve digital model that competes for the same families.

Regional players
