A New Vision in Esthetics Education
Esthetics College in Ontario Led by Algonquin College Educators
ABOUT US
The White Pearl College is a newly established private career college in Ontario, founded by educators who previously taught in the full-time Esthetics program at Algonquin College. Following Algonquin College’s decision to discontinue delivery of its full-time Esthetics program, our instructors chose to create a new private career college dedicated to continuing high-quality esthetics education.
Drawing on decades of combined teaching experience within a public college environment, The White Pearl College was established to preserve academic rigor, hands-on training, and professional standards in a more focused and student-centered setting.
While The White Pearl College is a new institution, its programs are shaped by proven teaching experience, industry expertise, and a commitment to excellence developed over many years in public post-secondary education.
At The White Pearl College, education goes beyond learning a skill — it’s about transforming lives, building confidence, and inspiring future leaders in beauty, wellness, and esthetics…
Our institution combines the academic discipline of public post-secondary education with the flexibility and individualized support of a private career college. This approach allows us to deliver focused instruction, hands-on training, and meaningful mentorship aligned with today’s esthetics industry.
