Welcome to Holy Trinity School
Welcome to Holy Trinity School
When you arrive at the HTS Campus, one thing is clear:
This is not just a school where values are learned, but a place where they are felt. In our halls, conversations and connections with each other, we honour courage, respect individuality and encourage self-discovery.
"We are committed to meeting each learner where they are, empowered to explore the boundless possibilities that exist both inside and outside of the classroom."

Message from our Head of School
Life. Learning. At HTS, we see those two journeys as one and the same. And no matter who you are in our Learning Network — a student on campus or online, or a professional searching for more — you’ll find the space and freedom you need to grow into the person you want to be. In a community where curiosity, compassion and courage create experiences that fulfill the whole person — by reaching and teaching the heart as well as the mind.
We know that our rapidly-evolving world needs confident, curious, intellectually agile and empathetic citizens. At HTS, we are leaders in learning. We believe in providing a progressive educational experience and preparing our students for a life where they will adapt and thrive..
HTS transforms lives.
Why? HTS is a world-class learning ecosystem that inspires individuals to live their best selves. By providing an inclusive environment where learners experience self-discovery and connection, HTS allows individuals to ignite, explore and fulfill their curiosity. HTS knows that transforming lives transforms the world; this is both our purpose and promise.
Our vision engages all learners in a relationship that is driven by knowing one’s strengths, interests and areas for growth. We recognize and honour the uniqueness and dignity of all learners; we foster their agency and choice, while inviting them to be courageous to try new things and explore new opportunities.
We can deliver on this because our staff are dedicated, caring professionals who are committed to their learners and their own professional learning. They, along with our students, create an environment where everyone achieves their personal best. The staff at HTS are dedicated to our learners, families and our alumni, supporting them during their learning journey and beyond. Our learners are our WHY and their success, growth and wellbeing is at the heart of all we do.
We look forward to meeting you and being part of your learning journey.
Sincerely,
Helen Pereira-Raso

Our Vision for Transformational Learning
HTS is an inclusive learning network where learners are inspired to become their best self.
By experiencing self-discovery and connection, learners can ignite, explore, and fulfill their curiosity because HTS knows that transforming lives transforms the world.
Our Experience
HTS offers a world-class educational experience in every sense. But it’s the way we think about and build that experience — captured here in four fundamental approaches — that elevates it into the values-driven, character-shaping, personally transformational experience it has become for students from all walks of life.
BELONGING We’re not only open to who you are, we’re driven by you becoming it. With open access, opportunity, and advancement for everyone and culturally responsive materials, resources and experiences, HTS thrives on a diversity of perspectives and lived experiences and is as open to change as our students.
CURATED EXPERIENCES One of the most powerful things you can do as learning professionals is to give genuine agency and ownership over learning itself, in its processes, pace and decisions, to those doing it. This allows HTS to deliver intentional, curated experiences based on learners’ desires, strengths and curiosities.
COMPETENCIES FOR LIFE A diploma isn’t enough: We seek to nurture and instill the skills, knowledge and disposition that will guide our students in all aspects of their lives, here and beyond. So ingrained in our earning experience are the HTS Six Competencies for Life: communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, character and citizenship.
AUTHENTIC LEARNING As the the next generation of world citizens, our students face having to navigate life’s complexities, detours, and interconnectedness on a much greater scale than ever before. It calls for a learning experience that leaves them agile and adaptable for today’s world – to gain multiple levels of knowledge, the ability to own a broad perspective, and the development of a critical mind.
Our Learners
HTS learners are inspired by ideas and driven to know themselves, others, and the world. They embody the HTS belief that Curiosity changes everything—and when that curiosity is expanded, it leads to:
• A new, evolved perspective
• A greater sense of self in the context of others and the world
• Intellectual agility
• Ability to make meaningful change
• Creating with intention
• Development of character and values as the foundation to lifelong learning
Our Space
We are a borderless, inclusive global learning ecosystem where the world is the true classroom and the most rewarding, important learning is through experience. We inspire the courageous to expand their curiosity for the benefit of themselves and all of us.
We have a campus in Richmond Hill and a global online school as well where students join us from around the world
