Delta West Academy

We love Delta West Academy and our son going on his second year has really become engaged with his learning and interest in school and become a avid reader. The teachers are amazing and we love all of the off school and sports learning and robotics and computer class options for kids. We are always updated on what he did in each class each week to help support his learning at home and lots of engagement from his teachers on where to improve and the test with marks come home for us to review. We feel really engaged with everyone in the school from the facility to other parents in the classes. Best choice we made for our son for his learning and growth was to transfer him to Delta West.

Delta West is a wonderful school and our boys are thriving there. The teachers and staff really care about the students and because of the small class sizes, know them well. Our kids are well cared for, have a variety of challenging and interesting subjects, and have the opportunity to go on field trips that broaden their learning. We love being part of the community and are so glad we found it.

If your family is looking for a school where academics come first with small class sizes, then look no further. My child has only been attending DWA for four months and is already being challenged and learning things he would not have yet been introduced to if we would have stayed in the public school system. The staff are wonderful and my child loves attending DWA. Highly recommend Delta West Academy as a private school in Calgary, AB.

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.

From the perspective of a grade 8 student, DWA has all the best opportunities for my future. It is true, this school really does launch all its students on an inspired journey. From amazing teachers and excellent programs to a variety of clubs, world trips, sports and numerous other opportunities, DWA has it all.The staff works diligently to foster good relations with families, making sure each student has what they need to succeed, sending kudos emails, weekly newsletters and blogs, along with so much more.The teachers themselves are extremely supportive and are always there when you need them, and it is very common for students to stay after school, if they need too, in order to understand a concept and prepare for a test. The teachers have various ways to explain a single topic, making it easy and simple to comprehend for every type of learner.Small class sizes have also helped me and my peers exceedingly, as a lower number of students in a classroom equals more individual attention and thus better grades. Questions are answered perfectly and the teachers genuinely have an interest in what they teach, which is rare in so many schools!Individual and group achievements are greatly celebrated at DWA, and each and every student is happy for one another. The school community is strong and the activities we do such as Secret Santa, Intramurals, Multicultural fair, and DWA’s Got Talent among many others create memories that will last a lifetime.

Overall we love the warm and small community education environment which foster meaningful relationships. Our daughter receives lots of care from everyone and we definitely impressed by so many teachers knowing her already which helps her to connect and settle in fast. We can tell she enjoys all the new friends she makes. We appreciate the communication received from school and enjoy the dragon blog especially the pictures as it helps us to know what she learned and how she does in class.

Each semester, each school year, we experience increased and renewed confidence that we have found the right school for our son.The teachers truly care about students - they work very closely with each student, facilitating self-analysis of their styles/strengths/challenges for both learning as well as exam-taking. They coach and empower the students to explore strategies until what suits them is found. Then your child starts to shine with his true colours, bright and proud. There is nothing more exciting and rewarding for your child to experience (and for us parents to witness!) exponential blossoming especially in a previously much struggled subject! And the teachers are just as excited as you are!Individual students' growth and achievements are celebrated with passion, resulting in remarkable levels of self-efficacy. Our son's transformation has been incredible since coming to DWA, and we are excited to see how his educational journey may further unfold.You become part of this big family that this school community is - led by an amazing team of admin team who students develop very special relationship with and families wholeheartedly count on. During one of the toughest times of our family, the school reached out to our son as well as us family with such sincerity, that no words can accurately describe the magnitude of our gratefulness.This school works with you and is there for you, all the way.

Our family feels so blessed to be a part of the Delta West Academy community. There are many wonderful things we love about the school, but I think one of the biggest draws for us are the small class sizes and the individualized attention given to each student in the class. The confidence and enthusiasm that my children have developed over years has been so amazing to watch. My kids love coming to school: they never complain about getting ready in the mornings, and they are always happy to tell me all about it at the end of the day.

We enrolled both of our children, and they will be attending Grade 2 and 1 in the coming 2018-2019 school year. Our son started two years ago in Sr. Kindergarten, and we were so impressed with his progress. He's grown so much in maturity, and the school definitely foster's the community spirit. I was amazed that my daughter in Kindergarten was able to say good morning to a boy in Grade 12.Our children have polar opposite personalities, and the school has been able to engage both kids, and we've seen great gains in the areas they were having difficulties in. We really feel the smaller class sizes have helped with this, due to the attention they can get from their teachers.The other parents at the school have been great. The community is friendly and welcoming, since we joined the school.The teachers have been amazing. All the teachers know all the children in the school, even if they don't teach them. The teachers have been prompt when replying to our emails, and have been extremely accommodating when it comes to our son's allergies. The teacher's truly understand how our kids like to learn, and give them the opportunities to thrive at school.We're so happy to have our children attending Delta West, and recommend others to consider this school when considering schools for their child/children.

My son joined DWA in Grade 2 after many challenges in the public system. At DWA he did a full 180, his grades and behavior improved significantly, and he actually shared his experiences with me at the end of each day (previously when asked what he did during the day he always said nothing"). He's engaged and happy for the first time in a long time. The small class sizes and great teachers are a huge part in his turnaround
