At Pickering College, our strategy is guided by a clear purpose: to instil in each individual the ability and responsibility to make the world greater, better, and more beautiful. Through three interconnected pillars, Inspire, Innovate and Invest, we are preparing young people to lead with character, embrace change and make a meaningful impact.
Together, these pillars guide our decisions, shape our priorities and advance our vision for the future.
Pickering College's strategic refresh charts a bold future
We pride ourselves on being a vision-driven school where our values influence day-to-day decision-making and shape the welcoming community that is Pickering College. We analyzed our strategic priorities to ensure the spirit of what we believe and do at Pickering College is embedded in the strategic priorities we have set to guide us into the future. The enduring values of our Quaker founders have provided a steady foundation for this work and our aspiration to shape the future of education has supplied the inspiration.
Our strategy is a living, breathing plan that outlines how we will accomplish our mission while living each day true to our values, ultimately ensuring the realization of our vision.
We invite you to explore the remarkable work of our students and to learn more about our bold path forward, through the lens of Inspire. Innovate. Invest.
Dr. Cinde Lock, Head of School
Pickering College has always been ahead of its time. From the school’s roots in co-education to the establishment of the advisor system and the abolition of corporal punishment as a means of discipline, we continually stand at the forefront of innovation and strive for the ideal of what school should be.
Mirella Morra, Board Chair
As we chart our course forward, our foundation remains rooted in the core values established by the school’s Quaker founders—values that have guided and sustained generations of Pickering College students. This continuity is what connects our past to our present and prepares us for the future.
