Atlas Learning Academy

About

We are a private school that offers small class sizes of 16, individualized inclusive programming, more one-on-one hands on learning, a sports training program and a place where students feel safe and can be confident individuals.

Story

Atlas was established in 2008 and began by offering preschool and kindergarten programming. As of September 2011, we became an Accredited Private School with Alberta Education and expanded to offer elementary and middle school classes.

Our school is a safe, caring and positive learning environment, where students can be individuals and become confident respectful citizens of the community.

We offer small class sizes that allow for more one-on-one teacher-student and student-student interaction.

We currently offer programming up to grade 6 and we will be expanding to grade 7 and 8 in the near future . Our sports training program, AMP Academy, starts September 2017! This is a great opportunity for all grade 4 to 8 athletes to receive extra training in their sport, without having to leave Airdrie.


Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Reviews
Loved this school! I had a great Kindergarten experience with Atlas and wished we could have continued to grade 1 but we knew going into it that it was unlikely that there would be a space. It looks like there was some miscommunication in an earlier review as everyone in Kinder B was sent an email during the summer 2018 informing us there would not be a second grade 1 class for 2019/2020 and we were required to respond to that email to confirm if we still wanted our child to continue enrollment for Kindergarten B. I think all of the faculty, from the owner, Helen to Ms Fitzgerald, the teachers and the before/after school care providers have done an incredible job at providing quality education. If a spot opens up in future grades, I would happily put my child back at Atlas!
I had a very poor experience with Atlas. My son was enrolled in preschool here and attended about a month’s worth of classes. I was a subsidy candidate, and even though my preschool subsidy would have been approved to cover a portion of our fees, I was discriminated against for my financial status. The owner Helen expelled my son with no valid reasons, refused to meet with me to discuss her decision, and said it didn’t matter because I “could not afford them anyway.” I gave her numerous opportunities to discuss her decision with me and meet with me in person. She declined them all and ultimately ghosted me on my calls and texts. Both she and the head principle had a disrespectful attitude towards me and I felt that they really spoke down to me, as if they felt they were better than me. They really condescended to me, made a huge deal about me dropping off my child at a wrong door, even though rules were never made completely clear, and mocked me for playing the victim when I stood up for myself and explained why this treatment was unacceptable. As a cautious parent sending my child to school for the first time ever, this treatment doesn’t exactly inspire trust in this establishment. There are so many great preschools out there. Find one that doesn't discriminate against or talk down to parents - the very people they rely on as a private school. Updates: Helen claims I do not review honestly. I give my word as a local guide that this is an honest and true review. Helen claims I broke rules and covid protocols. The truth is we were expelled before I was ever given a second chance and nothing was ever issued to parents in writing to fill us in on expectations prior to the start of school, it was just assumed everyone would know and follow the rules even before they were clearly communicated. I had never been back at the preschool since the initial time they brought up covid protocol and it was not discussed ever beyond that first day either. Helen claims she does not discriminate against parents for their financial status, even though the words "you can't afford us anyways" in my opinion, suggest otherwise, regardless of if there are other subsidy applicants that go there. Helen claims I was rude, but that was complete conjecture on her part. It is hard not to come off a little defensive when you are spoken down to or approached aggressively from the start in an already hostile environment. Helen claims we had a good experience in the Spring, but this is not true. I was not communicated with sufficiently about what was going on during classroom time, my concerns and proactive approach to my child's care were held against me, but I was open to giving them a second chance. Helen claims my son was given free preschool for one month. This is true. I didn't ask for it and clearly said I didn't want to be indebted to her, and yet here, she is mentioning it as if to hold it over me. Regardless of the free month we were able to take advantage of, that doesn't give her or the other staff excuse to belittle and talk down to me. We were expelled because she didn't like us and didn't want to be bothered to take an in person meeting to explain it. Her replies about covid protocols and rules being discussed on multiple occasions are untrue. We got one warning and were expelled before I had ever been back to the class in person. Whether Helen believes I've been more difficult to deal with than the average parent or not, at the end of the day, Helen did not treat me in a professional manner, and that's her responsibility as the representative of this business. She may be responding in a professional way here where she knows she is in public view, but when it was between her and I, she did not interact in way that reflects positively on her school, even though I gave her many chances. My word as a local guide, I've delivered a fully honest review. I cannot in good conscience recommend this school to another parent. I am only one, but I would be sad if others had this unfortunate experience too.
Ms Helen and the entire team at Atlas are all very caring, patient and kind! All of the staff are truly dedicated as well as generous, and this can be seen in the tiny ways they always go over and above!
Excellent school, we love the Montessori learning structure, its amazing how much progression we have seen comparatively to peers of the same age. We have been going to Altas right from the preschool, we just love the teachers, and Helen is an amazing Headmaster. Highly recommend.
Well... Where to start. Was promised way back over a yr ago that our children would be able to progress through from kindergarten onward. This has not happened and we are now or have been forced to find an alternative. Upon speaking with SO many parents the one thing consistent has been that HELEN owner promises so much but does NOT follow through. She tells parents what they want to hear at the time but it's not the truth. Heard that parents from kindergarten B class were taken but then turns out there's no room for those children to go to grade 1. She also said that if kids dropped out or were not moving on from kindergarten A that she would choose children from the B class that had other kids already in Atlas to move onto grade 1. This also was and is UNTRUE. I have spoken to a couple of parents from B class that do not have other children in Atlas yet they were offered a spot however turned Helen down because of her antics and how dishonest she is. Can't say enough about Me Adrienne. She taught last year and this year she took on role of principal. AMAZING and exemplary. She should be running the entire show. Great to deal with, professional however the parents miss her as a teacher. It is said that Helen chose to "bad mouth" another school for taking in more students than what they had room for in following grades, however Helen has done EXACTLY THIS. Not good business. Hopefully future parents of the school will speak to other parents and get a true and honest reflection of ATLAS.
Absolutely the best school program in Airdrie. Excellent program for students of all academic levels, you will not believe the quick progress your little learner will make! Strong zero tolerance policy for bullying. Great student to teacher 1:1 time, Small class size, great teacher parent communication, quick and creative adaptability to unforeseen challenges to facility availability. Excellent use of educational facilities in the area such as museums and business tour days. Expertly run and maintained. Basically if you have a student here you've hit the jackpot for schools.
Outstanding school, teachers and curriculum. The teachers will work with each student to reach their full potential while incorporating their individual learning styles and capabilities. My son has attended Preschool and now Kindergarten and will continue with Atlas Learning Academy until Grade 4 and than switch over to the AMP School.
What a fantastic school. Our son has done so well there that we have signed up our other child for preschool as well. Lots of personal attention because of small class sizes. Our son has severe food allergies and has never had an issue in the years he has attended. A real sense of community.
I have only goods things to say about this school. Too much to mention, but I highly recommend it. Great teachers! Our kids love it. Great teacher/student ratio. A lot of 1 on 1 time.
Caring staff and small class sizes really benefit the students!
