    Our Mission

    Holmes Education Group has always been a little different. Indeed, our fresh approach to education has driven much of our growth and success over the years.

Every day we seek to improve upon the status quo, guided by our four underlying business philosophies:

    Industry Shapers

    Three decades of industry firsts. At Holmes Education Group we're proud to be pioneers of the international student sector. Never content to just follow the crowd, we're nimble, adaptable and highly responsive. We always place deep value on finding smarter ways to drive better outcomes for our students and partners.

    Staying Tight, Doing Right

Success is important, but not at any cost. We believe the more we do what's right by our students and business partners, the more success will follow.

    Diversity Breeds Strength

    Diverse sectors, diverse brands, diverse opportunities. By nature we're very ambitious. But we still take a considered approach to everything we do, managing risks and growth in equal measure. Our acquisition mindset means we're always ready to capitalise on new opportunities to broaden and diversify our education footprint.
