We are excited to continue to support NPX Point Avenue group's mission to provide quality K-12 education to the next generation of future leaders in Vietnam and beyond."

With robust backing from Gaw Capital, a leading private equity firm focused in Asia, NPX Point Avenue is empowered to deliver elite and comprehensive education, ensuring a solid foundation for students' academic and professional success."
Gaw Capital, through its Education Platform, has invested in initiatives such as an early childhood education group in Singapore and, Stellart International School of Arts, an international arts school in Southern China.
