PHIL FREI

President/COO, Co-Founder of Bridge International Academies

Bridge International Academies is a for-profit business whose mission is to revolutionize access to affordable high-quality primary education for poor families across Africa. Founded in 2007 by Jay Kimmelman, Phil Frei and Shannon May, the company opened the first school in its franchise-like network of ultra low costs private primary schools in 2009. Its schools profitably deliver high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, enabling local school managers to operate their school businesses profitably, while creating a highly successful business at the central level. Bridge International Academies is a privately funded company whose lead investor is Omidyar Network.
