Edmonton Academy

I personally attended Edmonton Academy for 5 years. I ended up graduating from this school. Without EA helping to not only raise my grades but also my self-confidence and self-esteem I truly believe I would not be here today. I switched from public school with 35 kids in a class to this school with three to ten kids in a class. The staff truly cares for each child’s needs. They understand that each child learns differently. I am a visual learner and my education was adapted for me. I was shown how to do things instead of zoning out while a teacher drones on about whatever they were lecturing about. They made me feel like I was important and that people truly cared for me. I highly recommend this school for anyone dealing with issues in grade school. It was a huge part in shaping who I am today. In my personal opinion, it was worth every single cent that was spent to send me there.

My daughter attended Edmonton Academy for grades 10-12 and is graduating this year. My daughter has a learning disability (difference as I like to say) and is an intelligent girl. I found that she was lost in junior high because teachers didn't have time to work with her and she was flying under the radar. I believe that if she stayed in that system she won't have reached her full potential. This school gave her the chance to succeed. The teachers are amazing and go far above and beyond. I love that I can see she is learning by the dinner table conversations that we have. This school made all the difference for her.

I was in Edmonton Academy for 7 years. Before that I was at a school where teachers couldn’t give me a second of their time to help me a little more than everyone else. When I came to Edmonton Academy I wasn’t all too familiar with meeting new people and trusting new faces. But the second day of school I remember laughing with new kids and finally excited for school, because I finally understood how to do my assignments. I felt welcomed by my teachers, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are doing okay and to make sure you understand the work completely. I graduated 3 years ago and I’m still in touch with my classmates and favourite teachers. I’m so thankful for EA.

i attended Edmonton academy for 4 years and my little brother attended for 9 so i spent pretty much my entire teenage years around the staff of Edmonton academy. this school was so much more to me than ill ever be able to explain. during my teen years Edmonton academy was my home and family. when i first arrived i was in the middle of beginning the process of dropping out of school completely. i had failed every grade before and somehow was never kept back but suffered from being in classes of 30 where i was never given the time to catch up. to put this into perspective my graduating class at Edmonton academy was 11 people. every day i had one on one teaching in every single subject and suddenly became a honour student with more confidence in myself than ever. not only did i get the support i always needed in my academics i also had multiple teachers i trusted to go to with anything and everything, they ALWAYS had my back. I'm still in contact with many of my teachers from EA and could never imagine a life without them in it. i will never be able to thank this school for everything it has done for me but I'm proud to say at 22 years old i now have a high stress job that i would have never been capable of doing before EA, and I'm happier than ever. I am the woman i am today because of this school and the amazing staff.

I went to Edmonton Academy for grades 11 and 12 and graduated in 2005. Loved my experience there. The teachers were amazing and did a very good job helping out students with different learning needs. Great accommodations. Was a very good experience for me. I would highly recommend this school!
