For thirty years, Wayside Academy has been more than a school.
It has been a home.
A place where friendships were formed in the schoolyard. Where Latin declensions echoed down hallways. Where teachers poured themselves into young souls. Where families entrusted us with their most precious gift.
It has been a community bound by faith, united in mission, and strengthened through the years.
On Thursday May 28, 2026, we gather as The Wayside Family to celebrate three decades of classical Catholic education, the countless lives shaped along the way, and the generations still to come.
DATE: Thursday, May 28, 2026
TIME: 6PM cocktails, 7PM dinner & 30th anniversary celebrations including a live performance by students and acclaimed local musical performers, 8:30PM dancing
LOCATION: The Venue, 286 George Street North, Peterborough, ON, K9J 3H2
TICKET PRICE: $125
For thirty years, Wayside Academy has formed students in truth, goodness, and beauty. As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we invite you to partner with us in gratitude for what has been — and in hope for what is still to come.
Your sponsorship is more than event support. It is an investment in the formation of the next generation. Your generosity helps make this celebration possible, while also supporting the essential needs of our school — from classroom materials and programming, to tuition assistance for families seeking a classical Catholic education.
