    We are the family whose children were ousted from CCS after attending since kindergarten. Our…read moreoldest was permitted to graduate last year, but this year our two boys (grades 11 and 8) were forced out -- separated from lifelong friends -- because the leadership needed to appease those angered by a parent movement that only began because leadership refused to listen. There were pride flags in classrooms and teachers responsible for showing borderline pornography in the high school just as a couple examples, which sparked outrage and families kept leaving so parents wanted to stop the exodus. My husband, a beloved CCS teacher for 19 years, was also unceremoniously transferred on the basis of a false allegation from a (now terminated) historically unpopular staff member. Other families, too, have had their memberships revoked and were blocked from the AGM last year. At CCS, parents and staff who speak up will be punished if they do not "kiss the ring". And many know whose ring that is. While some leadership and staff have changed over the 3 years since parents started organizing to pushback as well as vote, nothing meaningful has. These "crumbs" were given only to pacify parents while the progressivism that has infected the school for over a decade continues. Parents, be careful. If you raise a concern, you will be pressured to fall in line -- and your children may be the ones who pay the price. Parents may pay to keep the lights on, but CCS operates as a closed ruling class of whiny progressives, and those who enable them out of pure cowardice. Respect and trust should not be given blindly -- and neither should your tuition money. Save it as well as the confusion in your child's faith and enroll your children in a public school or hope to be very fortunate if your children can be accepted into a SOLID Christian school that actually has a long wait list like our youngest was (thank the Lord). We don't miss this school one bit (I feel relief in fact) but our boys sure miss their friends. That's the ONLY reason we wanted to stay and fight for its soul. If you want traditional BIBLICAL Christian values, transparency and genuine partnership as a paying member, you will not find it here at CCS.

    My kids went to this school for years. We were very unhappy with the direction of the school and…read moresome of the staff. Super disappointing to think you are paying for quality christian education and you are in fact getting nothing more than a main stream liberal view. We did not feel that the staff took our kids best interest and well being to heart. We were nothing more than another number there and a tuition payment for them!

    Our daughter spent 2 years at Montessori Alberta with Ms. Celine, Ms. Sophia, and Ms. Angela. Our…read moredaughter learned so much at this school and it has really given her a lot of confidence in Grade 1. I am quite surprised to see some of the previous reviews but I'll comment with specifics to help any parents considering sending their children here. - Focus - My first experience with Montessori Alberta was in 2019 when we had a school tour. I was amazed to see 15 kids sitting on the mat all listening to Ms. Celine read to them. Ms. Celine has a way with children that really keeps them focused. -Adaptable - 2020-2022 was a hard time for schooling for all families but Ms. Celine was able to keep the school safe, keep the parents informed, and keep the kids learning every single day. When our daughter had to miss school for a few weeks, they made efforts to include her via Google Meet which was a wonderful way for my daughter to stay included. -Nurturing - Each of the teacher's here have such a wonderful way of knowing what a child needs. They really gave my daughter the push she needed but also gave her the space to grow. At each of our parent teacher interviews, we got specific and concrete feedback on how our daughter could improve and areas where she was already strong. -Community - The community of parents that bring their kids here is just wonderful and this speaks to the strength of the school and how it fosters that network. Even though our daughter is in grade 1 and all of her previous classmates are now in different schools, the parents still meet up and the kids still play together! In summary, I have nothing but great things to say about Montessori Alberta. My son is not quite old enough to go but the moment that he is, I am sending him there! Russ

    Words cannot express my gratitude for this Montessori school. We have been with the school since…read more2013, however the owner/directress changed with the 2016/2017 school year. Every change (both big and small) that she has implemented has been for the better. Beginning with the 2017/2018 school year they had a full day kindergarten program. Additionally they offer complimentary speech assessments for all the students and should your child need extra help they will arrange for he/she to work with a speech language pathologist during school time. My daughter is very shy (very independent but very shy) and this Montessori has developed and fostered her confidence and has allowed her to be more social. They strive to have students be self-directed and to be accountable for their decisions and actions. My daughter (and my older son under the old owner) both loved literacy and mathematics when they "graduated" from this school. I have two avid readers in my household (they are only 5 and 8 years old) and this is largely a reflection of all the literacy/phonetic work done at Montessori at a young age. This Montessori has instilled the love of learning in my children which made the transition to elementary school so easy. Our love for this school, has resulted in us changing the location of some other child care for our third child so he too can attend this school for the next three years. I would whole heartedly recommend this school to any parent who is looking for a program that will truly allow your young child to shine as an individual and to be exposed to a wonderful introduction to the world of learning.
