Even though most of our schools offer a regular program, no two are quite the same. All schools teach according to Alberta Education’s mandated curriculum, however a school’s focus, optional courses and school activities are as unique as every school.
William Aberhart School offers a range of programs including Advanced Placement (AP), Dual Credit, French Immersion, Off-Campus Work Experience, Regular and Spanish Bilingual programs, for grades 11 and 12. Our English Language Learners (ELL) program provides tailored, personalized and flexible support to meet our students’ specific learning needs. We also welcome students with Exceptional & Special Needs (see more under Classes & Departments).
¿Quiénes somos? Our school is an International Spanish Academy! The International Spanish Academy program is an educational initiative of the Ministry of Education of Spain that complements the Calgary Board of Education's vibrant Spanish Bilingual Program by connecting schools from across Alberta and the United States. It provides students with opportunities to acquire and maintain language skills in Spanish and English and develop global citizenship through rich intercultural encounters.
