IMPORTANT Almadina Charter School Society Board Action Plan Updated School's policy on the Pandemic (H1N1) Influenza virus Calgary Herald's article featuring Almadina Language Charter Academy

Welcome

We are the only charter school in Canada dedicated to serving the needs of students who are English language learners. We are located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and we focus on the Alberta Program of Studies with an enhanced focus on English language acquisition.

Our charter was first granted in 1996 and we have continued to improve and demonstrate success since then. Our most recent school evaluation, completed in February 2009, highlights the hard work of our learning community.

Our Vision

Canada’s best K-9 school for students whose second or third language at home is English, to reach their full potential.

Our Mission

The Almadina School Society, through its partnership with the Minister and all stakeholders, ensures that our students whose second or third language at home is English reach their full potential as they prepare to meet the challenges of high school, lifelong learning, and citizenship in a dynamic, democratic knowledge-based society that respects each child’s special gifts and the commitment to promote diversity in shared values.
