Business
First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd. is an education service provider primarily operating private high schools in Western China. The company offers private fundamental education and complementary education services, including middle school, high school, and tutorial school programs focused on Gaokao repeaters. Its product and service portfolio includes high school programs, tutorial school programs, education management services, and management consulting. The company operates a network of schools across multiple provinces, including Yunnan, Shaanxi, Henan, Guizhou, and Shandong. Founded with a focus on private high school education, First High-School Education Group is headquartered in China and aspires to be a leader and innovator in comprehensive private high school education management. Its business model integrates education information consulting, education research, talent management, technology management, education service management, and vocational integration development. The company primarily targets students in the western region of China. In recent major developments, First High-School Education Group entered into a definitive agreement in November 2024 for a going-private transaction valued at approximately $4.3 million, which was completed through a merger with One Education Holding Limited in March 2025. This transaction resulted in the company becoming a privately held entity, with its American depositary shares delisted from OTC markets. The company continues operations as a wholly owned subsidiary of One Education Holding. This strategic shift marks a significant change in ownership and operational structure, emphasizing a more consolidated and private business approach within the education sector. First High-School Education Group's strategic and operational expansion reflects its commitment to enhancing education quality and management efficiency in its core geographic markets while adapting to changing capital market environments and ownership structures.
