The Priory Annual Fund is the school’s yearly fundraising effort. While this year’s fund is aligned with the Soaring Heights Capital Campaign, the Annual Fund has typically supported projects which address the greatest needs of the school, including enhancements to campus and curriculum.

The Priory’s Soaring Heights Capital Campaign is a large-scale fundraising initiative designed to meet the long-term pedagogical goals of The Priory, that is creating a new home for a combined 4 and 5-year-old Kindergarten, giving a proper home to all the arts, establishing more green space, and creating an Early Childhood Learning Center, among other initiatives. This year, the Annual Fund supports this Campaign to help the school achieve these key projects.

Tuition covers only a portion of the actual cost of a Priory education. As a fully independent school, The Priory does not receive any government subsidies. Moreover, Priory students receive exceptional value for the tuition they pay, as outstanding extracurricular programs, such as the Priory Panthers athletics and the Drama Club are included without additional fees. Therefore, enhancements to the campus, curriculum, or student experience rely on fundraising efforts.

The Annual Fund helps bridge this gap. While tuition typically supports day-to-day operations, donations to the Annual Fund and the Soaring to New Heights Capital Campaign enable us to invest in long-term improvements, such as facility upgrades, that directly benefit students. Your donation ensures the school can continue offering the highest quality education and opportunities. Our current students are already benefiting from the investments made by Priory parents during past Annual and Capital Campaigns, and for that, we are truly grateful. Now, it’s our turn to pay it forward!

All net proceeds from the Annual Fund will go toward The Soaring Heights Capital Campaign. This simplifies our approach and ensures we are well-positioned for future growth and the current needs of The Priory School, which is an expanded campus.

Our goal is to achieve 100% participation from Priory families. Every donation, regardless of size, demonstrates community commitment and helps us reach this target.

We encourage families to give at a level that feels meaningful to them. Participation is the key, every gift counts, no matter the size.

Families can donate online through the Priory’s website, by cheque, by donating securities or by contacting Davey Lahteenmaa, The Priory’s Development Officer, at dlahteenmaa@priory.qc.ca.

Achieving 100% participation demonstrates a united community and helps when securing additional funding from external sources. High participation rates show a commitment to the school's mission.
