The Academy Program

Follow Your Passion. Drive Your Education.

A passion for sports or dance can positively drive a passion for education and character development. That is why we developed The Academy Grande Prairie.

This Program of Choice integrates excellence in education, athletics, and positive character development in every day of our student-athletes' educational experience. 

Come join us! See what passion-driven education can do for you.

Our Mission

โ€‹To create a distinctive community dedicated to true passion-based learning. To be an Academy Student means to commit to the highest standard of personal integrity, honesty, and academic growth. By combining this commitment to the pursuit of oneโ€™s own passion, we believe we can create a positive environment in which each student-athlete will realize their potential; academically, personally, and within their passion of choice.
