Your child deserves more than a traditional education. Our program is designed to unlock their full potential—in school, in life, and in the future.

    Students learn by doing—solving real problems, asking better questions, and building true understanding that lasts far beyond the classroom.

    From presentations to team projects, students grow into strong communicators who feel comfortable speaking up and stepping forward.

    Skills for a Fast-Changing World

    Your child will develop the critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability needed to thrive in tomorrow’s world—not just today’s tests.

    Every Child Seen and Supported

    Small classes mean your child is known, understood, and supported in ways that bigger schools simply can’t match.

  • 🎓

    Prepared for What’s Next

    Whether it’s university or something less traditional, your child leaves Pear Tree ready to make smart choices and take on life with confidence.

Curious About Our Approach?

We know choosing a school is a big decision. Our team is here to answer your questions-about our curriculum, values, and how we support each child’s journey.

  • Pear Tree Education was founded in 2011. Our school, Pear Tree Elementary, opened September 2016. In 2021, we migrated to the name Pear Tree School as part of our expansion to the middle/high school years.

  • Pear Tree School’s curriculum is based on the revised B.C. curriculum. However, we take a different educational approach. We do not teach subjects separately. Instead, Pear Tree integrates subjects around relevant and engaging educational themes. Not only is this a natural and captivating way of thinking and learning, but it also means that we can cover the requirements of multiple subjects in less time, which gives our students and teachers more time for deeper, broader, and more meaningful learning.

    Pear Tree School extends far beyond the expectations of the B.C. curriculum.
