About Park Street Education 

Founded in 2020 to address the immediate education needs of students and parents early in the pandemic, Park Street first launched as a virtual day school and after-school program. The not-for-profit's vision was to create new and more equitable paths to learning through a hybrid model, indexed tuition, and full scholarship opportunities. Through Park Street’s one-to-one enrolment model, it has provided scholarships to 105 underserved youth to date (across two school years). This upcoming year, Park Street aims to triple this by supporting 150 students in this school year alone.

With the return to in-person learning combined with the increased risk of students falling behind, Park Street has transitioned it’s programming staying true to its mission of providing accessible education. To remove the geographic barriers to education, Park Street is continuing its hybrid programming while also shifting to focus solely on expanding it’s after-school programs to underserved youth who are at risk of, or already falling behind in school. According to a poll commissioned by the Fraser Institute, nearly 80 per cent of Ontario parents of children in K-12 schools said their child had fallen behind due to […] the impacts of COVID-19.”

By donating to the Park Street Education Student Scholarship Fund, you will be providing free after-school educational support to children who need it most. Park Street’s programming is uniquely designed to allow students to foster a love of learning, ensure success in and out of the classroom and to put them on a path of empathy, curiosity, and graduation.

In a world where students continue to face increasing obstacles to receiving a quality education even at the youngest of ages, the equity gap in education continues to grow.
