nestled at the edge of the
foothills of the Rocky
Mountains, 20 minutes south of
Calgary. We are a
Pre-Kindergarten to Grade Six
elementary school. Holy Spirit offers a Catholic
Christian education to over 300
students in a warm and caring
environment. Our staff
focus on the development of the
whole child in relation to
values and teachings of the
Gospel. We emphasize the
importance of academics and
strive for excellence in a safe
and caring atmosphere.
Students are challenged to work
to the best of their abilities.
Holy Spirit Academy is designed
to facilitate student learning
and is equipped with mobile
computer labs, band, art room,
and full sized gym.
We have active participation by
students and staff in a variety
of clubs, teams and intramural
programs, and extracurricular
activities.
We rely on the support of both
the home and the parish to meet
the goals set forth by Alberta
Learning and Christ the Redeemer
School Division. We
emphasize the development of
strong basic skills that can be
transferred to all learning
situations. Language Arts,
Mathematics, and Religion are a
primary focus with excellent
programs offered in the areas of
Science, Social Studies, French,
Physical Education, and the Fine
Arts. Our school has a
full time special education
coordinator who works with a
group of highly trained support
staff to provide learning
assistance to those students who
need help in becoming
independent, confident learners.Our staff consists of caring,
committed and dynamic
individuals who enjoy working in
a team environment. Each
teacher is connected to a team
of teachers that meets weekly to
focus on improvement of student
learning. Our staff
maintains a close relationship
with the parish community
and our priest, Father
Philip Le.
