Calgary Arts Academy
The Werklund Foundation partnered with the Calgary Arts Academy in 2016 to help complete the new Youth Campus located at the Calgary Stampede in the historic Weston Bakery building. The innovative learning campus is the new home for 300 Year 4 to 9 students. Calgary Arts Academy is a Kindergarten to Year 9 Public Charter School that teaches the Alberta curriculum through Arts Immersion, a unique planning model. The school was founded in 2003 with a focus on students leaving tradition behind and embracing new education methods and learning style theories.
We continue to partner with the Calgary Arts Academy, supporting the development of the Arts Leadership programming and through the Werklund Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence Canada, supporting the students with social and emotional learning and skills development.
