Odyssey Education and Cambridge International Education formalize their strategic partnership

A historic partnership

On July 22, 2026, in Cambridge, United Kingdom, Odyssey Education reached a major strategic milestone by formalizing its partnership with Cambridge International Education. The official signing of this partnership agreement, alongside Mr. Rod Smith, Group Managing Director of Cambridge International Education, marks the culmination of several years of close and fruitful collaboration between our two institutions. This strategic alliance represents a key milestone in our group’s development and ushers in an ambitious new phase for our entire international school network.

A partnership rooted in the success of our bilingual schools

This official recognition builds on the success and achievements of our five schools that are already accredited as Cambridge International Schools.

Cambridge accreditation is a rigorous certification that attests that a school meets the highest international standards for educational quality, academic rigor, and school governance. Achieving this status allows our schools to deliver the official Cambridge Pathway program and offer their students direct preparation for exams and qualifications recognized by the world’s top universities. It is this audited and validated guarantee of excellence that ensures the continuity and seamless progression of our students’ bilingual educational journey.

A Collaboration in the Making
