Cogna Educação S.A. serves students, schools, teachers, and municipalities in B2C, B2B, and B2G models, with operations spanning all Brazilian states through 176 college units, over 1,500 distance-learning centers, 54 owned K-12 schools, 125 Red Balloon units, and approximately 5,600 associated schools, alongside limited international presence including partner schools in Japan and Canada. Founded in 1966 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, following a 2019 relocation from Belo Horizonte, the company employs around 25,000 people and maintains a diversified portfolio across higher education, basic education, and edtech segments. Recent developments include a September 2025 merger agreement to acquire its subsidiary Vasta Platform Limited for $3.3 billion in an all-cash tender offer at $5 per share, with the offer extended into October 2025 to consolidate control over its K-12 and digital platform operations; in June 2025, it secured investment from the International Finance Corporation to advance digital transformation in Kroton's undergraduate and postgraduate offerings; and in August 2025, it announced the acquisition of Studiare to bolster adaptive learning capabilities in healthcare training, alongside divestitures like SRV Editora in 2024 to streamline focus on core digital and higher education services.
