Mixed feelings about this school, my daughter attended for the last 4 yrs but this will be her final year. Standard and quality of education has really gone down and is unsatisfactory to me, its not worth the money, no difference to public school. Teachers seem not to care, kids are rude and have no respect for teachers or parents, no follow-up on school work or homework assignments. To be honest I should have moved her out after Grade 1. I would urge you to go and see the kids, teacher in classroom, see the education being provided and then make your decision. Maybe its the change in administration and/or the lack of interest by the teachers, but 4 yrs is enough and moving my daughter to another school. Thank you.

The school is only good as far as pre-school and kindergarten is concerned. Grade 1 and beyond - there is a reason why their class sizes are very small. Lots of students are leaving due to substandard education. This school claims to provide a higher level of education than what most public schools in Edmonton offer, thereby trying to justify the high cost of tuition they charge. It doesn't take much from a discerning parent to check other schools, to see anyone can get more quality education and better facilities in the public system, WITHOUT having to spend such high amount for tuition this school charges. I pulled out my daughter after finding out her Grade 1 teacher was giving school work that is below the kindergarten level in the same school. And when I asked for all the school work she has done right up to the point of pulling her out, I found out that they have not been covering much of the science and social studies expected to be covered at Grade 1 based on Standard Alberta Curriculum. I hope, most parents who consider sending their kids here - will at least PERSONALLY visit other schools, not just talk to other parents who check out other schools, to see for themselves what I mean. Seriously, it is your kids' future. Do some research and find out what is really out there. Don't blindly assume you are getting quality education just because you are paying for it. This is one case where you don't necessarily get what you pay for.

My son was in this school for 2 years It was awesome, very nice and talented teachers. Atmosphere was nice and they develop kids at their own pace, but always challenging them to get them to the next level of confidence. We were coming strait from UK, Wycliffe in Stonehouse , which is an elite school in Gloucestershire, and to be honest we did not know how it would go coming to Canada. After That Hugo integrated an international school in Houston Texas, where I have to say he is brilliant, and I think thanks to his hard work, but the support he got all along during his education, Progressive Academy being one of them!

This school has made an incredible difference to my daughter's personality and development. She was in another daycare close to this one but it was basically a warehouse for children and at 4 years old she was constantly acting out and shy. We decided to pay a little more and move her to this school and that is when the magic happened. She completely transformed and started to enjoy and look forward to going to school. They taught her manners, confidence, routine and within 6 months she was actually reading sometimes short sentences. The Jolly Phonics program they have is a fun way to learn reading and writing. The teachers are organized and love to teach. They also teach about the weather, nature, calendars, music, art, French and lots of play time starting at 3 years old. My daughter now has confidence to ask questions and raise her hands, loves to read story books and can tell you the life cycle of butterflies, frogs and name all the days, months and seasons of the year. She can actually point to a leaf and tell me what tree type it came from. The last thing I want to clarify is that this school has nothing to do with Scientology or any other idea and I have no idea how that rumour started. It is just a good Canadian school with relaxing atmosphere and updated learning techniques.
