Pear Tree Elementary Donates $1,000 to Preschools

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Jan. 6, 2016 - PRLog -- Pear Tree Elementary, a K-7 elementary school located in Kitsilano, is donating $1,000 to Vancouver preschools for each student referred that they accept into their school.

While Pear Tree Elementary has a selective intake, preschools could potentially receive a $5,000 donation for 5 student referrals that are accepted. Such a partnership between a private school and preschool is unique, and offers much needed support to preschools that often rely on minimal subsidies and parent participation.

“I think there is a lack of collaboration between private schools and preschools in Vancouver,” says Paul Romani, Pear Tree Elementary’s founder. “We think Pear Tree’s donation offer to preschools provides a healthy and natural partnership – making it easier for private schools to find ideal students and families, while supporting preschool education.”

Pear Tree Elementary offers a progressive education for Vancouver children, including maximum class sizes of 15 students, masters-qualified teachers, theme and project-based learning, and a mandatory healthy hot lunch program. This makes Pear Tree a refreshing alternative from Vancouver’s traditional, ‘heritage’ schools.
