ESTHETICS Program coming soon
Led by Former Algonquin College Educators
Programs are currently pending approval under the Private Career Colleges Act, 200
ABOUT US
The White Pearl College is an upcoming private career college in Ontario, currently in the approval process with the Ministry.
Founded by educators who previously taught in the full-time Esthetics program at Algonquin College, the vision behind White Pearl College was created following the discontinuation of that program.
With decades of combined teaching experience in a public college environment, our team is building a new institution dedicated to delivering high-quality esthetics education with a strong focus on academic rigor, hands-on training, and professional standards.
While The White Pearl College is a new institution, its future programs are being developed based on proven teaching experience, industry expertise, and a long-standing commitment to excellence in post-secondary education.
At White Pearl College, education goes beyond learning a skill. It is about transforming lives, building confidence, and inspiring future leaders in beauty, wellness, and esthetics.
Our approach is designed to combine the structure of public post-secondary education with the flexibility and personalized support of a private training environment, with the goal of delivering focused instruction, hands-on experience, and meaningful mentorship aligned with today’s esthetics industry.
