Laureate Education
Laureate Education, Inc. is a for-profit higher-education network founded in 1989 as Sylvan Learning Systems and renamed Laureate Education in May 2004. At its 2017 IPO peak the company operated more than 200 campuses across 28 countries serving over one million students; it became only the third B Corporation to go public when it listed on NASDAQ (ticker: LAUR) on 1 February 2017. Between 2018 and 2021 Laureate executed one of the largest sector-wide divestiture programs in the history of higher education, exiting Brazil (sold to Ânima Holding for ~$765M), the United States (Walden University sold to Adtalem for $1.48B), Australia / New Zealand (sold to Strategic Education), Chile (Universidad Andrés Bello transferred to Fundación Educación y Cultura in September 2020), Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, Malaysia, China, Italy, Cyprus and the United Kingdom — returning $1.29B to shareholders in October 2021. After the divestiture cycle Laureate continued as a pure-play Mexico / Peru operator with five remaining institutions and approximately 460,000 students. In May 2024 the company was acquired by an investor group led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC, a member of the World Bank Group) and Sterling Capital, taking Laureate Education private and delisting it from NASDAQ. The company is headquartered at 1000 Brickell Avenue, Suite 715, Miami, FL. Laureate does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, SDK, webhook surface, or status page. There is no Laureate Education GitHub organization. This profile therefore captures the corporate surface — institutions, divestiture history, leadership, investor status, news — rather than a programmable interface. The five remaining campus-network institutions each publish their own consumer-facing websites (UVM, UNITEC in Mexico; UPC, UPN, Cibertec in Peru) but none expose machine-readable APIs documented from the parent.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Laureate Education the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Laureate Education scores 12.6/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Laureate Education
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Laureate Education. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 2
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

GraphQL 1

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
