      only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
      condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and
      cash flows of the Companies.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
      that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in

          ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain of the statements included in this "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as well as
elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such
statements.  The known and unknown risks include the pace of growth of
student enrollment, our continued compliance with Title IV of the Higher
Education Act, and the economic environment.  Further information about these
and other relevant risks and uncertainties may be found in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, all of which are available from the Commission and from
the Company's world wide web site at http://www.strayer.edu  as well as from
other sources.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

      Revenues.  Revenue increased 15% from $17.6 million in the second
quarter of 1999 to $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2000, principally
due to an increase in student enrollments and a 5% tuition increase effective
for 2000.

      Instruction and educational support expenses.  Instruction and
educational support expenses increased 17% from $6.2 million in the second
quarter of 1999 to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2000.  A salary
increase of 5% effective in 2000 and the addition of new faculty due to
enrollment growth contributed to the increase.

      Selling and promotion expenses.  Selling and promotion expenses
increased 30% from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $2.2 million
in the second quarter of 2000, due to a small increase in advertising costs,
specifically television advertising, increased advertising for the Distance
Learning Program, and increases in the number of admissions representatives
at the new campuses in White Marsh and Anne Arundel County, Maryland and the
new campus in Chesterfield, Virginia.

      General and administration expenses.  General and administration
expenses increased 19% from $2.1 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $2.5
million in the second quarter of 2000 due to the addition of new campuses in
White Marsh and Chesterfield in 2000.

      Income from operations.  Operating income increased 10%, from $7.7
million in the second quarter of 1999 to $8.4 million in the second quarter of
2000.  The increase was due to the aforementioned factors.

      Investment and other income.  Investment and other income decreased
13%, from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 1999 to $1.2 million in the
second quarter of 2000.  The decrease was due to a reduction in realized
investment gains of $190,000.

      Net income.  Net income increased 7%, from $5.5 million in the second
quarter of 1999 to $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

      Revenues.  Revenue increased 13% from $36.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to $41.5 million for the corresponding period in 2000,
principally due to an increase in student enrollments and a 5% tuition
increase effective for 2000.

      Instruction and educational support expenses.  Instruction and
educational support expenses increased 15% from $12.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $13.8 million for the corresponding period in
2000.  A salary increase of 5% effective in 2000 and the addition of new
faculty due to enrollment growth and the addition of new campuses contributed
to the increase.

      Selling and promotion expenses.  Selling and promotion expenses
increased 23% from $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to
$3.9 million for the corresponding period in 2000, due to a small increase in
advertising costs, specifically television advertising, increased advertising
for the Distance Learning Program, and increases in the number of admissions
representatives in Maryland at the new campuses in White Marsh and Anne
Arundel County and the new campus in Chesterfield, Virginia.

      General and administration expenses.  General and administration
expenses increased 12% from $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $4.9 million for the corresponding period in 2000, principally due to
salary increases for administrative personnel and the addition of new
campuses.

      Income from operations.  Operating income increased 11%, from $17.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $18.9 million for the
corresponding period in 2000.  The increase was due to the aforementioned
factors.

      Investment and other income.  Investment and other income decreased
16%, from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $2.0 million
for the corresponding period in 2000.  The decrease was due to a reduction in
realized investment gains and interest on invested cash and cash equivalents.

      Net income. Net income increased 9%, from $11.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to $12.7 million for the corresponding period in 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

            For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company generated
cash from operating activities of $15.1 million.  Net cash used in investing
activities was $4.3 million, principally for net purchases of securities.
The Company used cash of approximately $1.5 million for financing activities,
principally related to payment of dividends. The Company believes that
existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities aggregating $70.6
million, cash generated from operating activities and, if necessary, cash
borrowed under the credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's
requirements for at least the next 24 months.  If the University decides to
purchase additional campus facilities, it may finance such acquisitions with
indebtedness.

      On October 2, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase
program of up to 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock over a period
up to two years, not to exceed an aggregate cost of $24.0 million.
Additionally, in 1999 the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase
program of up to 25% of the Company's net income beginning in 2000.  The
timing of the stock purchases are made at the discretion of management.  Any
shares of common stock repurchased are subsequently retired.  Through
December 31, 1999, the Company repurchased and retired 704,220 shares under
the 1998 program at a cost of approximately $20.1 million.  For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, the Company did not repurchase any common stock.






               ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
                              ABOUT MARKET RISK

      The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and
changes in the market values of its investments.  The Company invests its
excess cash in marketable securities and certificates of deposit.  At June
30, 2000, the Company's investments include certificates of deposit, money
market funds, U.S. Government obligations (primarily fixed income securities)
and high-quality equity securities.  The Company employs established policies
and procedures to manage its exposure to changes in the market risk of its
marketable securities, which are classified as available-for-sale as of June
30, 2000.  The Company has not used derivative financial instruments in its
investment portfolio.

      Investments in fixed rate interest earning instruments carry a degree
of interest rate risk.  These securities may have their fair market value
adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates.  Investments in
certificates of deposit and money market funds may adversely impact future
earnings due to a decrease in interest rates.  Due in part to these factors,
the Company's future investment income may fall short of expectations due to
changes in interest rates or the Company may suffer losses in principal if
forced to sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes
in interest rates.  As of June 30, 2000, a 10% increase or decline in
interest rates will not have a material impact on the Company's future
earnings, fair values, or cash flows related to investments in certificates
of deposit or interest earning marketable securities.  In addition, as of
June 30, 2000, a 10% decrease in market values would not have a material
impact on the Company's future earnings, fair values, financial position or
cash flows related to investments in marketable equity securities.
