U.S. Education is a leading private post-secondary education company with eighteen campuses across the Western United States. The Company offers a focused curriculum to students seeking to become healthcare professionals such as Medical Assistants, Pharmacy Technicians, Nurses, and Dental Hygienists.

U.S. Education Corporation was formed in partnership with leading education industry executives to acquire, develop, and grow private post-secondary schools. ClearLight Partners provided the initial capital for U.S. Education in June 2002 to fund the acquisition of Silicon Valley College, an allied healthcare and information technology school in the San Francisco Bay Area.

In 2003, ClearLight Partners provided U.S. Education additional capital for, and assistance with, three acquisitions including Western Career College (February 2003), American Institute of Healthcare Technology (October 2003), and Apollo College (December 2003). Since that time, the Company’s management has also opened two new campuses. As a result, U.S. Education has grown from a four campus school in Northern California to a leading career education company with over $100 million in revenue, eighteen campuses across the Western U.S. and a dominant position in allied healthcare training.

ClearLight Partners has provided active assistance to U.S. Education in evaluating and executing acquisitions, arranging debt financing, strategic planning, and filling key management positions.
