Teachers Life has been a part of Ontario’s insurance and education communities since 1939. As word spread through the education community about the CoLab Program, and as educators began asking for something similar for their students,it felt like a natural next step. So, in 2024, we launched The Press Start CoLab High School Program as a pilot, bringing the CoLab experience into Ontario high schools for the first time.  

The response exceeded our expectations. Demand was strong, the results were meaningful, and the fit with our roots in the education community, was clear. That’s why we made the decision to focus Press Start exclusively on the high school experience. Starting in fall 2026, we will be offering two CoLab High School programs a year, one in the fall and one in the spring – timed to the school calendar and shaped by the feedback of educators who asked us to make the program available beyond a single annual cohort.
