Project Peachleaf (1 School)
Transaction Summary
SchoolWise Partners is pleased to announce the successful closing of Project Peachlife, a private school located in and around Decatur, Georgia. The transaction was completed on February 27, 2026, with the business asset acquired by a national education operator.
Competitive & Strategic Process
Project Peachlife closed after SchoolWise Partners ran a tightly managed, high-velocity sale process that produced strong inbound interest from a wide range of qualified buyers. The process generated multiple credible offers and sustained competitive pressure across both the operating platform and the real estate, allowing the seller to choose the best mix of price, terms, and certainty.
An LOI was executed in December, and the transaction advanced through diligence, documentation, and final approvals on an accelerated track—closing in approximately three months. The outcome reflected SchoolWise’s disciplined process control, responsiveness, and ability to keep momentum high through the most sensitive stages of the deal.
“Speed doesn’t happen by accident,” said Scott Verdine. “When you create real competition and keep alternatives alive, buyers stay engaged, timelines compress, and certainty improves—without sacrificing economics.”
