In 1998 Agincourt Learning began as an in-house tutoring service that catered to the individual needs of the children. Agincourt Learning understood the importance of personalized attention in order for educational growth. One-on-one tutoring with highly qualified teachers provided each student with the personalized attention required. Agincourt Learning then expanded in 2001 to become a learning centre where students of similar interest and ambitions could meet and benefit from a nurturing one-on-one environment.A desire to help all children in the community has led Agincourt Learning to develop a web site for students which includes an online learning component. High quality tutoring is now available to all students simply from the comfort of their own home, or wherever there is an internet connection. Every child can now receive personalized one-on-one attention.Agincourt Learning believes there is a strong need for supplementary tutoring programs to be available for all students.

Tiferes Bais Yaakov seeks to help our students internalize the joy and excitement of a Torah-true way of life, and seeks to instil a deep-rooted understanding of Torah values in each of our students. TBY endeavours to provide our girls with the skills necessary to function successfully in today's society and become contributing members of their community and the Jewish community at large.
