Welcome to Almadina Language Charter Academy. A public school of parental choice since 1996.
The school commenced operation in September, 1996 after receiving its charter from the Minister of Education in June of 1996. This charter was renewed for five years beginning in September, 2006.
We provide instruction to students from ECS to Grade 9.
Our students are either first, second or third generation Canadians. Generally, they live in a home setting where the first language is not English. Therefore, we are not dealing entirely with newcomers to Canada, but also with Canadian born individuals who have a need to increase their English language proficiency level. Research shows that students who are learning a second language require a minimum of five to seven years of support before they can catch up to native speakers in cognitive academic language proficiency.
Our students come from all parts of Calgary. They therefore all come by bus. This service is provided by Cardinal Coach Lines. They can be reached at 531-3900.
Our walk limits are from one to three blocks.
