My son loves Delta West Academy.He has been there since Kindergarten and is in Grade 2 now. The class sizes are small, which some people may question, however this allows the teacher to spend more time with the student if they need help, and it also allows more time for the teachers to do more experiments in a specific topic, or to provide extra activities and give more advanced work if the students catch on quickly. The teacher are absolutely amazing, Very knowledgeable, kind but have high expectations t the same time, they really want to help the children succeed. The other children at the school are polite and kind, the older kids play with the younger ones, there is a lot of respect amongst all the students from what i have seen.

This is the worst school in the city of Calgary. People need to complete an intense research before wasting their money at Delta West Academy. They have so many lawsuits from former parents,teachers and even builders. They lie to parents and when families leave they find out their kids have not been receiving the best education. The reason why classes are small is not because they promote small class sizes. Its because they cant keep families at the school. Families prefer to attend private school that even though they are difficult to get into they will at least offer an excellent Education to their children and will not treat parents like garbage. Save your money! There is a reason why they are the only private school that has continuous enrollment and many incentives. Once you are in they will make your life a living hell when you finally realize how horrible they are and you try to move your kids.

I attended this school years back and see not much has changed from previous reviews. I'm actually surprised this school is still running considering how bizarre their policies and education are and how often they cross the line. Don't be fooled by the small classrooms or other "perks" they offer. DWA couldn't fill larger classes if they wanted to. Ask them how long a typical student stays enrolled in their school, especially in Junior and Senior High. Also, ask how many students they currently have in those grades. You will see that the majority of their students are in Kindergarten - Grade 6, while the higher the grade the less students they have. They force their students to take a number of courses that are not mandatory in other schools and do not make you more prepared for University as they state. They claim they have a high University admission rate, but their graduating classes are tiny! They have even had a graduating class of 1 student in previous years. They are also over-involved in student's private lives and will do anything to ensure your children's return to their school the next year or at least their tuition fees. Please consider other alternatives before sending your children to this ridiculous school.

Delta West Academy has been wonderful for my daughter. She is now in Grade 1 and this is her 3rd year at DWA. I plan to send our other daughter here in 2017. Do your kids know the names of all the other kids in their school? My 6 year old does. DWA prides itself on small class sizes and a genuine feeling of community. My daughter is doing extremely well academically because there are only 13 kids in her Grade 1 class. Neither of us have to worry about her being left behind in class, not having any friends or even being bullied. Delta West offers kids, and parents, an opportunity to be part of the education process and the school community. I am disappointed by the comments left her by former DWA community parents. Like any reasonable adult, if I felt that DWA wasn't offering my daughter a safe and enriched learning environment, I would enroll her elsewhere. My daughter has been part of the DWA community for 3 years now and I really can't imagine her attending any other school. I encourage you to go meet the staff, administration and the students. Take a tour of this wonderful school. Do not form your opinion of DWA based on website reviews. The overwhelming majority of parents and students love DWA. Go meet them and ask. This is a great school, but don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself!

The only reason why my kids are returning to this horrible school is because they made us believe that most of the school was returning. Half of the students left this year. The admissions director tells everyone is because of the economy ..IS NOT. everyone that left are going to better private schools. The school Administration is by far the biggest joke. They are rude and not welcoming. This year they forced people into fundraising most likely because reenrollment was LOW. Do yourself a BIG favour and don't let them fool you. The positive comments on here and google are from the spouses of the administration team and from parents bringing their own business to the school (uniform providers). They will make you believe that is the best school and sell you the small class sizes; its only because they can't get enough students to fill them up. They will reassure your family that classes will not be split classes, yet when your kids show up to school the first day of class they inform you that your child will be in a split class. Once again do yourself a favour and look for a better school. You might have to be placed on a wait list but only because its a good private school. Delta West Academy is the only private school currently recruiting students. Don't waste your money.
