Trinity International Education, a subsidiary of Trinity ViaggiStudio Srl, a tour operator specialised in organising travel and study abroad vacations, completed the acquisition of St. Andrew’s College Language Schools, a Scottish company specialising in summer camps and cultural programs that operates 18 centres in the United Kingdom (10 in England and 8 in Scotland).

Trinity ViaggiStudio has been in the market for more than 25 years and boasts an internationally recognised brand thanks to an excellent and effective operational organisation and the quality of the products offered. The Group has grown over the years to become one of the most recognised study vacation tour operators in Italy. The Group has been able to expand in Italy by opening an office in Rome in 2011 and started a process of internationalisation by opening Trinity International Education in 2012 and a subsidiary in New York in 2022.

Trinity’s offering caters to students as well as adults and professionals, ensuring a different experience across age groups and types of educational pathways. The range of programs offered by Trinity guarantees the best offer for every need: study trips for students, language courses abroad, language internships and work experience for academics, teachers and professionals.

With this transaction, the Group strengthens its market presence and further expands the range of summer camp programs offered. The two companies will retain their brand identities and management teams that will combine their expertise to best meet the needs of their clients.

Trinity International Education was assisted by PKF Smith Cooper, which performed the financial and tax due diligence and acted as financial advisor together with Equita Mid Cap Advisory, Italian partner of Clairfield international, and Flint Bishop LLP, which performed the legal due diligence and followed the legal aspects of the transaction together with Bidoggia e Associati Studio Legale.
