Hong Kong, 26 June 2026

Faria Education Group, a global leader in international education systems and services, today announced a strategic partnership with 21st Century Learning (21CL), a leading provider of educator professional development, consulting, and conferences for K-12 schools. The partnership brings together two complementary strengths: Faria’s global ecosystem of school technology and services, and 21CL’s established community of educators and school leaders across the Asia-Pacific region.

Together, Faria Education Group and 21st Century Learning aim to foster richer dialogue across the international education community, creating spaces where school leaders can engage with emerging ideas, share practical experiences, and collaboratively shape the future of schools.

The partnership centres on two new initiatives launching across the 2026–27 academic year:

  • Faria Forward Bangkok 2026: A full-day thought leadership conference for international school leaders, co-hosted with 21CL on October 20, 2026, in Bangkok. The event will bring together 80–100 educators from international schools across APAC.
  • Faria APAC Community Series: A set of dedicated Faria product community days and user groups prior to 21CL events. The series kicks off with a SchoolsBuddy Community Day ahead of the PHASE Conference in November 2026.

 

LaRoy Hoard, Vice President of Asia-Pacific at Faria, commented:

“Our partnership with 21CL creates new opportunities to connect school leaders around the conversations that matter most – innovation, sustainability, and the future of learning. These initiatives are designed to strengthen both professional community and practical collaboration across the region.”

Justin Hardman, Founder and CEO at 21st Century Learning, commented:

“This partnership is rooted in a shared belief that meaningful progress in education happens through community. When school leaders have access to both strong systems and strong professional networks, they are better equipped to navigate change and drive lasting impact.”
