About Perth Campus

Celebrating our Heritage, Embracing Our Future…

Our small, friendly campus is located in the historic Town of Perth, approximately 65 km west of Ottawa. This setting enhances our unique heritage trades programs, which draw students from the local community and from across the world. Perth was awarded the Prince of Wales Prize for its continued commitment to preserving its rich architectural heritage, and the Algonqun Heritage Institute was recognized as integral to the community’s success. Masonry and carpentry projects completed by students can be found throughout Perth and the surrounding Lanark County.

In all of the Perth Campus programs, you’ll experience hands-on and authentic learning projects linked to your theoretical studies. Students engage in real-world learning by working in the community, from field placements with local agencies for Social Service Worker students to clinical placements in long-term care facilities for the Personal Support Workers, and opportunities to work in business settings for our Office Administration–Executive students. Perth residents live in the energy-efficient houses built by our Carpentry and Renovation Technician – Sustainable Design Build students!

Join us and experience the benefits of studying at a small campus, in small classes, and with all the supports required for a sound College education.
