Since 1979, Foothills Academy Society has been a cornerstone of the Calgary community, focused on supporting children, youth and their families with Learning Disabilities and ADHD, through individualized wrap-around services. Our impact is only possible with the generous contribution from our community members and businesses.
Learning Disabilities and ADHD deeply affect the children and youth we support. They experience significant challenges in reading, writing, numeracy, emotional regulation, and/or social skills, which can impact their ability to reach their goals. With the supports we are able to provide at Foothills Academy Society to these children and youth, they are able to gain and retain skills in these area’s which allow them to fulfill their potential academically, socially and in pursuing their passions.
Annually, our programs support over 2000 children and youth and thousands of parents and professionals who support these young people. Our programs include: School Program
Currently serving 300 students with diagnosed Learning Disabilities in grades 312 (Designated Special Education Private School - DSEPS)
Community Services
Read/Write & Math Intervention - Individual and small group remediated literacy and numeracy programs.
Amicus Camp & Recreation - Low-ratio (1:3) programs focused on social skill development.
Psychological Services & Programs - Low-cost psychoeducational assessments, individual and group counselling, executive function skill development programs and parent support groups.
Professional Development & Community Education - Providing current and impactful research to parents, professionals and the community through online courses and in-person sessions.
To ensure that our programs remain accessible for the thousands of individuals we support, we raise approximately $1 million dollars every year to provide financial support through our internal bursary program.
