TPS was created by a group of education consultants who
are experts on Canadian private and independent schools.
We saw a lack of quality information on the web and a need
to provide families with thorough information about the
private school landscape in Canada. Our website, TopPrivat-
eSchools.ca, aims to be a complete research center with a
continuously expanding knowledge base for private schools
and private school admissions. We hope our resources can
help you make informed decisions about your family‟s educa-
tion options.
