Small classes, big opportunities

The Pretty River advantage

Our class sizes are small and our opportunities are big. We offer specialty programs in all disciplines, individualized support, flexible scheduling for athletes, and a variety of co-curricular activities, trips and events. We are responsive to the goals of our students and their families.

Extraordinary location

Students and teacher in an outdoor classroom

We have spacious, light-filled classrooms, science lab, music and art studios. We are also surrounded by 40 acres of green space, rich in biodiversity. Students learn while they explore in our outdoor classrooms and local hiking trails, and while they compete on our full-sized artificial turf field, multi-use sports court and in our full-sized gym.

Inspiring future leaders

Principal reading to students

We inspire future leaders to make purposeful, profound and meaningful contributions. PRA’s holistic approach to education nurtures our students to become quick-witted and divergent thinkers, equipped to navigate the world with empathy, curiosity and pride.

A strong community

Three friends together outside

The PRA community is a family. Students are honoured for who they are and what they bring to the table. We recognize the importance of sustaining and enriching the local community. We nurture our students to be thoughtful and innovative — they give back and they think ahead.

Farm-to-table meals

Our food program includes locally sourced nutritious hot lunches and healthy, energizing snacks. We accommodate dietary restrictions, ensuring all students have access to great food every day. 

”Pretty River students thrive in an environment that offers an exemplary academic program, many opportunities for student leadership and a Social-Emotional learning program that focuses on student mental health and well-being.”
