Mission and Values
We strive to provide a well balanced academic program that supports individual students as they develop into independent life long learners. Our programs also include active and varied co-curricular activities that engage students in school life and provide an avenue for the expression of athletic, artistic, musical and dramatic interests. Service learning, in which students help others, is also strongly supported by staff and the community and fits well with our emphasis on the promotion of equity and character.
History
Park Avenue P.S. is named after the street on which we are located and reflects the historic connection to Riverdrive Park which is a community developed on the bank of the Holland River near Queensville Sideroad and Old Yonge Street.
Our school mascot is a Black Panther.
