Leading independent education provider, Dukes Education, has further expanded its fast-growing family of schools by partnering with Verita International School, Bucharest.
Founded in 1982, Verita is an all-through school that currently operates from three locations in Bucharest serving more than 600 students. Verita complements Dukes Education’s existing presence in the UK, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, Ireland, Czech Republic, Croatia and Greece.
The partnership with Dukes Education opens up an array of benefits for Verita’s community that includes access to a global talent pool of exceptional educators, opportunities for student and teacher exchanges, and a platform for sharing best practice on an international scale. The collaboration offers Verita students and staff unprecedented learning and development opportunities.
Verita’s leadership and operational frameworks remain unchanged and founder, Richard Joannides with his Senior Leadership team, will continue as a pivotal figure in the organisation ensuring Verita’s values and vision are preserved and enhanced in the coming years.
Founder and Chairman of Dukes Education, Aatif Hassan, whose passion for the transformational power of education, and whose commitment to educational quality and student wellbeing is at the heart of the Dukes Education ethos, said: “Verita’s focus on learning through inquiry, emotional intelligence and self-mastery accords strongly with our values and Verita’s well-developed programmes in these areas will provide new opportunities to share learning across Dukes. I am delighted to embark on our new partnership in Romania and extend a very warm welcome to the parents, students and staff of Verita International School.”
Founder of Verita, Richard Joannides, said, “Joining this prestigious educational group is a very significant moment for Verita and our partnership marks a pivotal step forward in our mission to continually elevate the quality of education we offer. We look forward to the positive changes this will bring to our students’ educational experiences.”
