Based in Singapore, Schola is an online education platform founded in 2017 by Aditya Gupta and Tran Le Thanh Nhu. The company focuses on developing communication skills for children aged 4 to 15, positioning itself within the global EdTech market.
The founding of Schola was influenced by Aditya Gupta's prior experience as a Product Manager at Facebook and Accenture, combined with his work running a non-profit school in India for 3,000 children. This background shaped the company's mission to merge world-class educational standards with technology to serve students, initially focusing on Southeast Asia. Co-founder Tran Le Thanh Nhu brought marketing expertise from her career at Facebook and a passion for empowering youth in the region.
Schola's business model revolves around a proprietary technology platform that delivers live, one-on-one personalized learning sessions. Revenue is generated from parents who purchase these online courses for their children. The platform connects students with a network of qualified, trained teachers who deliver a curriculum focused on English-language capabilities and communication confidence. A key offering is the "Presenting and Public Speaking Programme," specifically designed to help children become more effective speakers. The curriculum provided to teachers aims to create an interactive and immersive classroom environment, likened to an American International School experience delivered at home.
The service is designed to be comprehensive for its educators, providing the curriculum, scheduling tools, payment processing, and technical support. To date, the company has delivered over 100,000 classes and was recognized as one of the top five education companies in the 2020 APAC EdTech Competition. In August 2022, Schola was acquired by BrightCHAMPS, a global platform for extracurricular learning, in a $15 million transaction.
