The student body at Wise Owl reflects the diversity of the surrounding community, and the school uses that as a foundation to encourage and celebrate a multicultural perspective. Wise Owl is small, which is a draw for the families that enrol, as is the program that runs from preschool through the primary and elementary years. There is a close, family feel, with an individual attention to the needs of the students. Likewise, there is an attention to building students’ emotional and social esteem within a values-based environment. The ideal student is one looking for something different, and who will thrive in a hands-on, community-based academic environment.
View full reportProgressive Academy hits a lot of the sweet spots that parents are looking for when considering private education. The size of the student body is smaller than the mean for schools across Canada, and affords a more individual, personal approach to instruction. The students are known by faculty, staff, and peers, and therefore quickly gain a sense of place and belonging. That said, the school is large enough to provide a good range of curricular programs and extracurricular activities. Students have the opportunity to try activities that they perhaps wouldn't attempt in larger, more competitive settings. A strong academic program is delivered in consort with an attention to interpersonal skills and social and emotional development. The school is a particular draw for families looking for a balanced program, one that builds from the students’ interests and creativity, yet supports them to reach a bit beyond their immediate comfort zones.

There are so many benefits to sending your child to a school that recognizes the incredible potential of each individual.
Progressive Academy strives to develop well-rounded advanced learners, capable of becoming the entrepreneurs of the future. We develop confidence with intention. Our approaches to education stress understanding through discovery, yet ensure that the necessary base skills are well developed, opening the door for students to pursue subjects as far forward as they are want.
Students are exposed to many required classes including French and Mandarin as second languages, art history, music (including concert band in Junior High), robotics, as well as many options including public speaking, programming, photography, and sports like fencing and equestrian. Our students perform regularly during the school year to build their confidence and comfort with being in front of crowds.
Our school is best characterized as academic. Students are encouraged to learn beyond their grade or age might dictate. We follow the passion for learning of the student, rather than hold them back based on age. Our highly individualized approach helps students learn at an early age that they are directly responsible for their own development.

Traditional curricula tend to be very content-based and rooted in the core disciplines. It is a structured approach that involves the teacher delivering a unified curriculum through direct instruction. Students usually learn by observing and listening to their teacher, studying facts and concepts in textbooks, and completing both tests and written assignments - which challenge students to not only demonstrate their mastery of content but their ability to analyze and deconstruct it critically. Class discussions are also used to create critical dialogue around the content of the curriculum.
Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.

Wise Owl's Elementary and Middle School program, aligned with the Ontario Curriculum, prioritizes a well-rounded academic approach, fostering creativity and individuality in small classes. The curriculum not only equips students with essential skills and knowledge but also promotes leadership development, good manners, and effective learning habits through independent and collaborative work. Furthermore, our holistic approach includes regular physical activities, visual arts, drama, and music programs, providing students with a comprehensive education that enhances physical coordination, artistic expression, and emotional intelligence.
Progressive Academy implements the Alberta Provincial curriculum as a starting point. Students are not bound by grades or constrained by time in their forward progress through the curriculum. High expectations for full understanding and ability to use what has been learned determine forward progress. Authentic learning opportunities provide meaning for curriculum expectation. Students are often in multi-grades classes and are encouraged to perform at their highest level while mentoring younger student in their work.

Phonics-intensive
Balanced reading programs are typically Whole Language programs with supplementary phonics training. This training might be incidental, or it might take the form of mini-lessons.
Systematic-phonics programs teach young children to read by helping them to recognize and sound out the letters and syllables of words. Students are then led to blend these sounds together to sound out and recognize the whole word. While other reading programs might touch on phonetics (either incidentally or on a “when needed” basis), systematic phonics teaches phonics in a specific sequence, and uses extensive repetition and direct instruction to help readers associate specific letter patterns with their associated sounds.
Wise Owl prioritizes a comprehensive approach to early literacy. Our students initiate their reading journey with a phonics-intensive program, gradually transitioning to a whole language approach as their language proficiency develops. The process is deliberate and gradual, allowing students to grow comfortably and fluently in their language skills. We recognize the significance of both phonics-based learning and context clues in the early reading process. This dual emphasis ensures that students encounter a diverse range of words, integrating structured phonics instruction with the ability to infer meaning from context. By combining these methods, we create a balanced and effective foundation, fostering a love for reading and empowering students to confidently navigate the intricacies of language acquisition.
Early literacy begins at age three, where our students start to read and write using phonics. Our expectations by grade school are that students are one or several years ahead of norms for reading levels.

At Wise Owl, our students embark on a structured writing journey, commencing with an emphasis on fundamental grammar rules, sentence structure, and punctuation. As their writing proficiency develops, students transition towards more personalized expression. Our approach encourages them to delve into nuanced aspects of writing, including word choice for mood and conveying specific ideas. Beyond traditional paragraph-based stories, our curriculum explores diverse writing mediums, fostering a holistic understanding of written expression. Throughout this process, students not only compose sentences and stories but also cultivate an awareness of the broader role of writing in various contexts. This comprehensive approach nurtures their ability to articulate thoughts with precision, creativity, and adaptability across different writing styles and mediums.

In our English classes at Wise Owl, children undergo a gradual progression in text analysis and creation. For younger learners, literature serves as a valuable learning tool, nurturing foundational language skills. As students progress, the focus evolves towards decoding the mechanics of plot, characterization, and themes in basic texts. This developmental approach ensures that children not only engage with literature as a source of knowledge but also acquire the analytical skills needed for deeper comprehension. The curriculum encourages creative expression, prompting students to craft their own texts as they advance. By blending foundational learning with more advanced literary analysis, we aim to cultivate a well-rounded understanding of English language arts, fostering both appreciation and critical thinking skills in our students.

The Expanding Communities approach organizes the curriculum around students’ present, everyday experience. In the younger grades, students might learn about themselves, for example. As they move through the grades, the focus gradually broadens in scope: to the family, neighbourhood, city, province, country, and globe.

At Wise Owl, students embark on a comprehensive journey, commencing with an exploration of their own lives and gradually expanding their studies to encompass local communities and the global landscape. This progressive approach allows students to delve into both local and foreign cultures and histories. Through carefully curated readings and exercises, we aim to instill in them an appreciation for the complexities of diverse people and cultures worldwide. The curriculum encourages critical analysis, guiding students to connect these insights to their daily lives. By fostering a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of the world, we empower students with the knowledge and perspective needed to navigate the complexities of our global society and contribute meaningfully to a diverse and interconnected world.

In our French program at Wise Owl, we prioritize proper pronunciation and delve into the intricacies of the language compared to English. Emphasizing the richness of the language, we encourage students to extend their learning beyond the classroom, applying their structured knowledge in real-world contexts. By focusing on pronunciation and language rules, we aim to provide a foundation that empowers students to explore French with confidence outside the classroom. This approach allows them to appreciate the language's nuances at their own pace without self-consciousness about their proficiency level. We believe that this comprehensive strategy not only enhances language skills but also fosters a deeper connection to and appreciation for the French language and culture.

Emphasizing that theatrical elements extend beyond the stage, students discover the relevance of discipline and freedom in both their artistic pursuits and daily lives. In our fine arts program, the objective is to cultivate students' artistic potential. Exposure to various mediums, application styles, and art history forms the foundation. We strive to foster a non-judgmental environment where students feel confident expressing themselves through their art. By encouraging exploration and self-expression, our approach aims to empower students to embrace their creativity and recognize the broader applications of the arts in their personal and academic lives.

A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

At Wise Owl, we view computers as valuable supplementary tools for lessons, providing access to a wealth of teaching materials and media through the internet. However, our pedagogical focus prioritizes the direct teacher-student relationship. We believe that immediate communication between teacher and student allows for nuanced understanding and tailored guidance without reliance on technology. While technology is pervasive in children's lives beyond school, we emphasize maintaining a space for interpersonal interaction at Wise Owl. We value the unique insights, mentorship, and guidance that result from in-person engagement, recognizing the irreplaceable role of direct teacher-student interaction in fostering a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. This approach ensures a balanced and effective integration of technology within the broader context of meaningful human connection in our educational environment.
Progressive integrates FIRST Robotics programs into our curriculum, so all students get exposed to technology in a fun, competitive environment. All students are required to have laptops starting in grade four, as our program includes teaching such skills as computer programming, CAD, computer graphics editing and publishing. Additional instruction is available for accelerated students in things like electronics, web design and advanced programming.

Academic
Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.

The preschool program at Wise Owl is designed to instill essential skills for success in Junior and Senior Kindergarten. Through interactive activities, students build foundational abilities, such as developing Number Sense and exploring various counting methods. In Junior Kindergarten, they delve into Measurement, Geometry, Data Management, and Probability. Senior Kindergarten fosters creativity, challenging students to think innovatively and apply classroom learning practically, preparing them for future academic pursuits with adaptable thinking.
By creating engaging environments and providing authentic learning experiences our young learners actively engage in learning and reflection. Whether it is a tour of the city to examine 2D and 3D shapes in Edmonton's architecture, or a study of bugs in the yard - Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten students learn the basic of research - observation. Literacy, communication skills and numeracy are woven into your students daily activities. Our high interactive phonics programs find most of our students with beginning reading skills before they enter Kindergarten.
Student-paced
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.
The main curriculum pace is non-standardized and is HIGHLY responsive to the pacing of individual students, (via differentiated instruction, differentiated assessment, etc). In theory, some students outpace the default/normalized curriculum, while others spend periods "behind schedule" if they need the extra time.
Wise Owl Private School adopts multi-age classrooms, cultivating collaboration among students of varying ages. High school students benefit from guided independent study, fostering self-directed learning and autonomy. Our instructional strategy emphasizes differentiated instruction, tailoring teaching methods to meet individual needs, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience for all students.

Rigorous
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.
Wise Owl Private School provides a structured framework for children while fostering opportunities for exploration and cultivating a love of learning. Our students follow both the Ontario curriculum and our enriched Wise Owl curriculum, particularly focusing on the arts. Embracing and nurturing children's innate curiosity about the world, we are committed to guiding them along their academic journey with a blend of creativity and academic excellence. Our approach encourages a holistic development that not only adheres to educational standards but also sparks a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom, preparing students for a lifelong journey of intellectual exploration.
At Progressive Academy we have high expectations. We expect our students to understand what they are learning and demonstrate their ability to incorporate their learning into their lives. We expect our students to learn how to learn, to take responsibility for their learning, to reflect on their learning and to help others. We expect our students to help shape a better world in their daily lives as students.
