What learning looks like now: At Prestige School, we have continued to provide our advanced, engaging educational experience while students are at home. Our students have access to their usual timetables and lessons, run by their own dedicated teachers, direct to their homes. Alongside their classmates, Prestige students have participated in and will continue to take part in their daily classes, communicate with their teachers and submit assignments and tests for feedback and assessment. At the heart of Prestige has always been three core values our school promotes: wisdom, courage, and integrity. We have continued to uphold these values through our blended learning approach, combining Google Classroom and ZOOM with emails and personal correspondence and ensuring that students learn through our well-established curriculum in as close to the way they would were they in our school’s classrooms. We have even integrated a virtual physical education component designed to help students stay active indoors using interactive apps and the expertise of our experienced Physical Education instructor to conduct regular fitness and wellness sessions. Students have also continued art and music lessons online, advancing in their creative abilities and furthering their mastering of the guitar, ukulele, recorder, and vocal talents. We remain dedicated to an individual learning approach and a full-day program that allows for the progressive development of skills.

Dear parents,
Every morning I wake up excited to take my two children to school. As both their mother and principal, I rest easy knowing that they are entering a stimulating learning environment wherein they are well supported by our dynamic and dedicated staff.
The dedication of our staff plays a huge role in the success of our students, my own children included. Our close-knit community, made possible by small class sizes, ensures that each of our students receives an individualized education. You will never have to wonder how your child is doing; our teachers will tell you because they care.
Located in the diverse city of Toronto, Prestige School prides itself on a student body that reflects the multicultural city of Toronto. Our school boasts international students from all corners of the world, with some of our students speaking several languages. It is for this reason that Prestige School offers language courses as early as preschool. We want our students to be well equipped to thrive in today’s global economy.
However, academics are not enough to develop a well-rounded child. That is why we pride ourselves on our community. But what exactly is our school community? Our school community is the taste of every food imaginable during our International Café, the sound of ear-splitting cheers on Sports Day, the sight of our graduates walking proudly across the stage, diplomas in hand. It is the feeling of making a difference.
Because a picture is worth a thousand words, I urge you to browse our photo gallery. The smiling faces of our students will tell you much more than I am able to in a letter. We invite you to come and see us in action and would be happy to book you an appointment to discuss your own child’s educational needs.
Happy learning!
Olga Margold
