Atlas Learning Academy

Loved this school! I had a great Kindergarten experience with Atlas and wished we could have continued to grade 1 but we knew going into it that it was unlikely that there would be a space. It looks like there was some miscommunication in an earlier review as everyone in Kinder B was sent an email during the summer 2018 informing us there would not be a second grade 1 class for 2019/2020 and we were required to respond to that email to confirm if we still wanted our child to continue enrollment for Kindergarten B. I think all of the faculty, from the owner, Helen to Ms Fitzgerald, the teachers and the before/after school care providers have done an incredible job at providing quality education. If a spot opens up in future grades, I would happily put my child back at Atlas!

Excellent school, we love the Montessori learning structure, its amazing how much progression we have seen comparatively to peers of the same age. We have been going to Altas right from the preschool, we just love the teachers, and Helen is an amazing Headmaster. Highly recommend.

Well... Where to start. Was promised way back (over a yr ago) that our children would be able to progress through from kindergarten onward. This has not happened and we are now or have been forced to find an alternative. Upon speaking with SO many parents the one thing consistent has been that HELEN (owner) promises so much but does NOT follow through. She tells parents what they want to hear at the time but it's not the truth. Heard that parents from kindergarten B class were taken but then turns out there's no room for those children to go to grade 1. She also said that if kids dropped out or were not moving on from kindergarten A that she would choose children from the B class that had other kids already in Atlas to move onto grade 1. This also was and is UNTRUE. I have spoken to a couple of parents from B class that do not have other children in Atlas yet they were offered a spot however turned Helen down because of her antics and how dishonest she is. Can't say enough about Me Adrienne. She taught last year and this year she took on role of principal. AMAZING and exemplary. She should be running the entire show. Great to deal with, professional however the parents miss her as a teacher. It is said that Helen chose to "bad mouth" another school for taking in more students than what they had room for in following grades, however Helen has done EXACTLY THIS. Not good business. Hopefully future parents of the school will speak to other parents and get a true and honest reflection of ATLAS.

Absolutely the best school program in Airdrie. Excellent program for students of all academic levels, you will not believe the quick progress your little learner will make! Strong zero tolerance policy for bullying. Great student to teacher 1:1 time, Small class size, great teacher parent communication, quick and creative adaptability to unforeseen challenges to facility availability. Excellent use of educational facilities in the area such as museums and business tour days. Expertly run and maintained. Basically if you have a student here you've hit the jackpot for schools.

What a fantastic school. Our son has done so well there that we have signed up our other child for preschool as well. Lots of personal attention because of small class sizes. Our son has severe food allergies and has never had an issue in the years he has attended. A real sense of community.
