About

Pickering College develops young people who combine achievement with purpose. 

Founded on Quaker values and shaped by a globally diverse community, we believe education should help students discover not only what they can accomplish, but also how they can contribute. Through rigorous academics, authentic leadership experiences, and meaningful relationships, students develop the confidence and character to make the world greater, better, and more beautiful than they discovered it. 

This commitment comes to life through our Global Leadership Program, which challenges students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12 to think beyond themselves, connect with both local and global communities, engage with complex issues, and take meaningful action. Through authentic experiences and partnerships, students develop the confidence, empathy, and sense of responsibility to contribute to something larger than themselves.  

The result is graduates who are prepared not only for university, but for lives of purpose, service, and impact. 

As a top private school in Ontario, our international network of alumni includes prominent academics and scientists; lawyers and judges; artists, musicians and filmmakers; social entrepreneurs and business innovators; and government and public service members.
