WHY WE FUNDRAISE

Tuition alone cannot provide all the opportunities that make The Priory exceptional. Fundraising allows us to go above and beyond—enhancing programs, facilities, and the student experience.

  • Throughout the school’s nearly 80-year history, major expansions have been made possible thanks to philanthropy.

  • Our current priority: the Soaring to New Heights $5M Capital Campaign, which will expand our campus and create the spaces needed to support teaching excellence, community life, and growth for the future.

In 2001, The Priory School Board of Directors worked with a group of committed friends, parents and alumni to establish The Priory School Foundation. The group had one common belief: that The Priory School was a gem unlike any other school in Montreal. Priory students and alumni embody leadership, moral strength of character and most of all, love of learning and joy of living.

WHAT WE DO

• Annual Giving Campaigns: Directly benefit campus improvements, curriculum, and student life.

• Day of Impact: Launched in 2025, our annual day of giving, rallies current and past families together to demonstrate our collective impact.

• Community Mixers & Fundraising Events: Fun gatherings with food, auctions, and opportunities to connect.

WHY WE NEED YOU

We are looking to grow the Foundation with members who bring diverse skills—fundraising, events, communications, finance, or simply a passion for supporting education. Becoming involved is a meaningful way to:

• Be an ambassador for The Priory

• Meet other families and strengthen community ties

• Strengthen the culture of philanthropy and shape the school’s future for generations to come.
