Trends in globalization and privatization have begun to radically and fundamentally alter the context and landscape of K-12 schooling. Accosted with rising demand for education on one side but flanked by budgetary and institutional constraints on the other, governments worldwide have opted for privatization as a policy lever for increasing the supply of education. Despite the potential and promise of K-12 multinationals to meet the rising global demand for education, their role in the provision of K-12 schooling remains controversial. Furthermore, the paucity of information regarding their financial and operational reach has obfuscated attempts by governments to assess their inherent risks and rewards and associated externalities. This qualitative case study of Fairmont Education Group, a K-12 multinational headquartered in California, answered research questions relating to the motivational and contextual factors, along with organizational and operational characteristics, which have influenced the company's international growth. The findings of this study indicate that macro educational reforms across the globe have created the conciliatory market conditions for Fairmont to respond to an education gap in rapidly developing economies. As Fairmont faces significant policy risks and operational challenges, the sustainability of its international growth hinges on its capability to reconcile the dichotomous needs for greater adaptability to local conditions and integration as one collective unit. This study serves as a revelatory case from which replication and further empirical work can extend the body of knowledge regarding the nature of K-12 multinationals' role in the globalization of K-12 education and public sector reform.
