We have a great education experience at Webber Academy after my kid enrolled into this caring and diverse environment. Besides top-notch facilities, they have very high moral standard and achievement standard in all aspects of school life. Extra power-hour is available for student needs help. Year-round sports activities, concert bands and clubs ensure each student can find something enjoyable and be proud of. Great communication between teachers and parents, even on weekends and holidays. Dedicated teachers always encourage students to try their best and always offer extra help if needed. The students at Webber Academy are intelligent and respectful. Dr. Webber is a visionary leader with great heart. We always see him at school and ready to have a casual chat with everyone. My kid always brings home laughter and happiness from school. The numerous awards showcase the dedication of the school to put it's best to help students reach their potentials locally, nationally and internationally. If you are a student with good work ethic and open-minded, you will have fun at Webber.

I was in this hell hole from kindergarten to grade 9. I would like to point out some deep flaws, but first I will give 3 emotionally distressing things that happened to me as a student in this institution. First off, in second grade a teacher decided to tell the school she thought I was mentally handicapped, after getting tested at the most expensive place in downtown Calgary, they were sent a letter stating I had an IQ of 136, and was simply bored in their classes. Secondly, the next year Ms. Zechulan (I do not remember how to spell it), decided that I would have a written letter and had to sign a waver saying I would never bring a L.E.D light bulb and a AA battery to school again as Graham Gardener's mother thought I could get electrocuted form it after he told his mother on me for bringing a cool light I got off a SCHOLASTIC kit that year. Lastly, I was given mediocre grades throughout my attendance to this school, as essentially most grades were dependant on homework; you could do homework and get 60's on tests and end up with 80% or higher. I never ended up doing my homework in this school or high school as it was irrelevant in high school and university. I was told BY A TEACHER that I would never amount to anything, now I go to a university in the United States on a full scholarship. Do not send your son/daughter to school here, all my classmates agree that this was the worst school imaginable, they do not like/did not like being here.

When we learned my husband's work would be moving us to Calgary for 3 years, we searched the area carefully for a school our children could thrive at. The company was willing to pay for private school so we jumped at the opportunity. Our public school experience had begun a fast decline in the states so the change was a welcome one. Webber has been a fantastic school for our children. It reminded me of how public school used to be for us growing up, with parents welcome to freely visit children in the classrooms, pulling them out (for appointments and such) without a fight, and being thanked graciously for any and all volunteer work. The public schools as of late had been failing us in that regard and treating our children as a mere number, and us as parents as an intrusion upon their time and "schedule." Always a kind word for our children and for us, their parents. We always felt welcome and included. Despite being the "new" kids, our children made friends and found a wonderful home at Webber. A huge added bonus was having ALL four children at the same school facility, which made coordinating schedules and driving SO much easier. Especially in the winter months. We had children in Elementary, Junior High and Senior High, so we saw each level of the school first hand through our children and through our volunteer time there. I am very pleased with what we experienced. I felt more welcome at Webber than at any previous public school my children attended. My children worked hard--just as we would expect them to at any school, but the standard of expectation with a private school pushed our children to reach even further. We saw a vast number of students approach the work with differing levels of excitement--just as you will find at any school. But the standards of expectation didn't change, and so the quality of teaching stayed the same. If our child was struggling with an area of study, the teacher worked with them one on one to assist them. We struggled to get that in a public school setting. We're grateful for the cultural diversity at the school that enabled our children to continue their learning and appreciation for the world at large. So grateful for the opportunity our children had to attend Webber Academy and the confidence it has helped instill in our children via the hard work and caring of the teachers, and staff.

We have been sending our kids to Webber Academy for many years and have had a very positive experience throughout. The teachers are fantastic, the facility is second to none, and the students are great kids for the most part. There is definitely a strategy of setting a high academic bar for the students and the school atmosphere is competitive which can lead to some stress depending on your child. However, it is amazing what kids can achieve when high expectations are set. The struggle to achieve something worthwhile can be difficult for students, but overcoming adversity is perhaps one of the most important life skills. As parents our influence on our children diminishes as they grow older, which is why it is so important for kids to have a great peer group. The students at Webber Academy truly encourage each other and have had a positive impact on our children. I have witnessed many examples of this over the years. I have read some negative posts complaining about racist administration policies. This couldn't be further from the truth and it really boils my blood to read some of these comments. My family comes from a diverse background of different cultures and religion, and our kids are fully accepted into the school environment. Just visit the school for yourself and witness the diversity of the student population and how they blend together and support each other. The staff constantly preaches the importance of diversity and acceptance of other cultures. I can tell you that this was not the case at all when I was a child attending public schools in Calgary. Webber is leaps and bounds ahead on this front and I suspect they are better than most current schools on this as well. My only complaint is that ALL public schools should be as good as Webber. We pay a tremendous amount of tax dollars towards public education and the result is far from great. Our research into public schools led us to conclude that many private schools were far superior on many fronts. This shouldn't be the case - the public school system is ripe for disruption.
