Gaw Capital Backs NPX Point Avenue in Strategic Education Investment

Private equity firm Gaw Capital Partners has revealed a strategic investment in NPX Point Avenue, a prominent K-12 education group based in Hanoi, Vietnam. This investment covers both True North International School (TNIS) and Point Avenue, key institutions within the NPX Point Avenue network.

True North International School (TNIS) is recognized as one of Vietnam’s most forward-thinking and entrepreneurial K-12 institutions. The school is built on Four Pillars of Excellence—Academic Rigor, Global Citizenry, Character, and Fitness & Wellness—designed to cultivate an active lifestyle and encourage students to make healthy choices.

The school has achieved key accreditations, including a six-year term from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and STEM.org accreditation. TNIS, located in Hanoi’s Ha Dong District, also offers more than 15 Advanced Placement (AP) courses and serves as an SAT and AP testing center.

In addition to academic excellence, TNIS has facilities, including a grass football pitch, an indoor heated swimming pool, a gymnasium, and multiple maker spaces. With a capacity of 1,000 students from Kindergarten through Grade 12, the school provides an enriched environment with 50 classrooms and multifunctional spaces. TNIS’s guiding principles, encapsulated by its 3C’s—Children First, Culture Always, and Community Forever—serve as the foundation for a student-centered approach, reinforcing its commitment to quality education.

Point Avenue, a key part of the NPX Point Avenue group, enhances TNIS’s curriculum with its advanced teaching methods and career development programs. Together, these institutions offer a comprehensive education that equips students with essential skills to succeed in a competitive landscape, preparing them for both academic and professional challenges. 

Herbin Koh, Head of Growth Equity Platform at Gaw Capital Partners, expressed that this investment reflects the firm’s ongoing dedication to making responsible investments that positively impact society while balancing financial interests. He emphasized the firm’s enthusiasm for supporting NPX Point Avenue’s mission to deliver high-quality K-12 education to future leaders in Vietnam and beyond. 

Danny Hwang, Founder and CEO of NPX Point Avenue, expressed his gratitude for Gaw Capital’s robust support, emphasizing that the collaboration will empower the group to offer top-tier education, laying a strong foundation for students’ long-term success.

Through its Education Platform, Gaw Capital has made strategic investments in several educational initiatives across Asia. These include an early childhood education group based in Singapore and Stellart International School of Arts, an international arts school in Southern China. These investments highlight the firm’s commitment to supporting ventures that contribute to educational development and align with its broader financial goals.

The firm’s diverse portfolio in the education sector reflects Gaw Capital’s focus on generating a positive societal impact while ensuring the sustainability of its investments. By backing projects such as NPX Point Avenue, Gaw Capital continues to demonstrate its long-term vision for fostering quality education and shaping the future of learning across the region.
