The partnership between IMG Academy and EQT portfolio business Nord Anglia Education will bring world-class education to students in 33 nations, according to a report by The Business Times.

Venus Williams, Serena Williams, and Andre Agassi are just a few of the famous athletes that got their start at the institution.
BPEA EQT, the acquirer, has expressed interest in the academy’s plans to expand its educational offerings and its international presence, particularly in Asia.

IMG Academy in Florida is a 600-acre facility where they train athletes and also offer online instruction and help with recruitment. In 2022, it helped more than 30,000 people get on college sports teams.
