Filling out the application form is the first step to learning about your child. It is one element which will help to determine if your child will be a good fit at Delta West Academy and vice versa.

You can apply anytime throughout the year. Applications are processed as they are received and if the grade you have applied for is full, you have the option of a waiting list.

Yes, we do.  We are partnered with Discovery Kids After School Care Program which is run out of the school and ends at 5:30pm. The cost depends on the service selected. Please contact us for further information.

The Fraser Report only analyzes results based on class sizes that have 15 students or more. At DWA, our average class size is 10 students so we are not included in the Fraser report. Nonetheless, we would be pleased to share our Provincial Achievement Test results with you during a tour. Alternatively, you can read a detailed analysis in our Annual Education Results Report.

Based on Fraser Institute rankings, Delta West Academy ranks at approximately 12th out of 659 schools in Alberta!

Extremely well! In the last 10 years, 100% of our graduating students are accepted to the university or post-secondary program of their choice. DWA students have been recruited by top universities in Canada and the United States, and can fully expect the successful completion of their chosen programs. Our students are very well prepared to enter university once they have successfully completed the focused DWA high school program. 

Yes. The supervised lunch for elementary students is followed by the students’ second recess of the day which is also supervised. There is no fee for the supervised lunch and students have access to microwaves in their lunchrooms.  

As often as you like. We believe that timely communication is very important in creating and maintaining a constructive and positive educational relationship. You can speak informally with your child’s teacher before or after school, email anytime, or schedule a more formal meeting. You will hear from your child’s teachers at least a few times a month; we hope to hear from you at least as often as that, too.
