Foothills Academy

We recently received a generous donation of $300 worth of native wildflowers from the Canadian Wildlife Federation / Fédération canadienne de la faune!

Our students have been hard at work planting the wildflowers near our front entrance, helping to create a beautiful and welcoming space.

We can’t wait to watch them grow and bloom in the months ahead! A heartfelt thank you to the Canadian Wildlife Federation for this generous contribution and for helping us bring a little more colour to our Foothills community.

A heartfelt thank you to our Foothills Academy Society community!

To our students, families, alumni, staff, donors, volunteers, and supporters: thank you.

Your trust, generosity, advocacy, and belief in our mission make everything we do possible. Because of you, students with Learning Disabilities and ADHD are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

It takes a community to create meaningful change, and we are so grateful to be surrounded by one that shows up, speaks up, and lifts each other up.

🎓 Graduation March 🎓

Today, we celebrated our incredible grade 12 students with a Graduation March! As they made their way through the school, staff and students lined the hallways with signs, cheers, and applause to celebrate this exciting milestone and show their support.

We are so proud of everything our grade 12 students have accomplished and can’t wait to see what the future holds for each of them.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
