Established in 2011, Pear Tree’s innovative learning is leading the way for Metro Vancouver schools with a technology-enriched, innovative, and research-backed approach to education.
Pear Tree School was created in response to the problem that public and private / independent school education models are outdated, and that children are not learning relevant life skills nor developing the confidence that will enable them to excel in and out of the classroom.
Located on West Broadway in the heart of Kitsilano, the school is close to the beach, forests, parks, and local transportation.
Our custom-built facility provides a learning environment that is bright, modern, and welcoming. Classrooms are equipped with the latest in interactive SMARTboard technology, with Cisco Meraki wifi connectivity throughout. Our open concept encourages the collaboration and hands-on learning that we believe in so strongly.
In 2021, Pear Tree School completed an $800,000 facility expansion and upgrade to accommodate up to 80 students plus staff. It now offers five spacious classrooms, a commercial-grade kitchen, a reception area, a directors’ office, a teacher’s office, non-gendered washrooms, and a separate suite for teacher meetings and storage.
For the 2024/25 school year, we launch a second Middle School campus bringing our total student numbers up to 144 students.
(Pear Tree School is certified by the BC Ministry of Education as a Group 3 Independent School: Certificate No. 3996918)
Pear Tree School’s mission is to provide a complete, inclusive, and stimulating education that nurtures the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and ethical development of every student.
We aim to equip our students with the skills, knowledge, and values needed to lead fulfilling lives and make a positive impact on the world.
Working in partnership with teachers, families, and the wider community, we strive to create a supportive and dynamic learning environment that encourages active participation, critical thinking, and personal growth.
By combining academic excellence with a whole-child approach, we strive to inspire and empower our students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens.
We are dedicated to ongoing growth and evolution, both as individuals and as a school, in order to continuously provide an education that meets the changing needs of our students and prepares them for success in all aspects of life.
