Pear Tree Education is looking for Vancouver families that share and support our educational philosophy, and would love to speak with you about how we can help your child reach their academic and personal goals.

Why is it called Pear Tree? This is a question that we get asked a lot!

Alexis’ last name is Birner, which in German means pear. In part, it is named after her! We see tree as a metaphor for growth, development, and something that needs nurturing, just like the minds of our students. Hence Pear Tree!
