"Foothills Academy is an independent school for students with diagnosed Learning Disabilities in grades 3 - 12. Small class sizes allow the experienced staff to create a positive learning environment that builds on the strengths and unique learning styles of each student while supporting their social and emotional needs. A wide variety of extra-curricular activities, sports and clubs are offered. With a graduation rate of close to 100%, our students successfully go on to post-secondary education and the workplace."
"Three core values that underpin the school program are based on Self-Determination Theory and are expressed as: Find Understanding. Build Confidence. Maximize Potential. Staff build strong relationships with students to really understand each individual's strengths and interests. Students feel a sense of competence which develops their confidence and self-belief. Students feel connected to their learning and have a voice that allows them the freedom to thrive and maximize their potential."

"We are a smaller, specialized school but we provide a rich, whole-school experience. There are many opportunities for students to participate in areas of interest through clubs and extracurricular activities. Many activities are determined by the student interests providing opportunities for students to engage in an area of strength or interest and share that interest with other students. For students who struggle academically, this opportunity to identify and develop areas of strength is vital."

"When a child attends Foothills Academy, they immediately become part of a large family. All staff - whether they directly teach a student or not - get to know them and are invested in their success and well-being. There is no way to slip through the cracks. The staff are continually engaged in professional development to stay on top of evidence-based best practices."
