History

Stadio was originally a subsidiary of private education group Curro Holdings, which was founded in 1998. [6]

In 2013, Curro unbundled Stadio, to allow the latter to focus on tertiary education. [6] Following this, Stadio listed on the JSE Limited on 3 October 2017. [7]

In 2017, Stadio acquired a 100% shareholding in South African fashion design institution Lisof. [8]

In 2019, Stadio announced its intention to acquire or launch its own IT and medical training facilities in South Africa. [9]

In 2024, Stadio began construction on a new campus in Durbanville, Cape Town. The R370 million investment will comprise 13,000 sqm of buildings, and is set to accommodate up to 5,000 students from the 2026 academic year. [10] [11]

Operations

Stadio operates three educational institutions, STADIO Higher Education, AFDA, and Milpark, with the former being the largest. [6]

As of 2024, across all three institutions, Stadio provides just over 50,000 students across 16 campuses with 90 programs. These are at higher certificate, diploma and degree levels, including honors, masters, and doctoral qualifications. [6]
