What is Family Commitment & Why do we have it?

What is Family Commitment:

Every family who joins the Foothills Academy becomes part of a larger community working together to support our organization, find understanding, build confidence and maximize potential. Since its beginning, no child in need has been turned away from Foothills Academy Society for financial reasons.

Our Family Commitment is needed:

To ensure low student-teacher ratios allowing for more individualized instruction and support

To support facility and program updates such as an outdoor classroom

To support our bursary program and ensure our programs are financially accessible to all

To maintain up-to-date technology in the classroom, supported by our full time AT Specialist

To support our full-time Assistive Technology specialist to support our students

To support our on-site mental health support, Occupational Therapy and Speech-Language Therapy for our students

To provide a variety of field trips and other immersive, experiential and educational experiences without any additional cost to families
