Summit West Independent School - Okotoks, Alberta

We didn’t mind this school until I was emailed a letter essentially firing us because my child didn’t attend a zoom meeting with me. My child had a rough night and was asleep. The teacher said it was fine and I should make clear at no time offered to rebook. You get one time slot and thats it.
Even though I have mentioned many times their emails do not go into my inbox the teacher sent me four angry emails about not being able to contact me( I found them only after searching her name) She did NOT call/ text or smoke signal me. She just kept sending to the same email all frustrated about not being able to reach us. It is bizarre behaviour. I would think a teacher could use another way to contact another person as we dont all sit in-front of a computer all day. Had she texted once saying,” I sent you an email…” I would have searched her name and found it.

I have been waiting for reimbursement from last year for well….a year. It’s time for me to submit to our new school this year’s expenses. I uploaded all the info to the website as they required. They said they didn’t get it. So i emailed the info then they needed it in a different format. So, I changed the format and emailed it and still nothing. At this point between searching for all three peoples names in my email( Brad, Glen and Grace-Anne) and calling its become a part time job. Usually, I dont leave negative reviews but my kiddo wants to start a trade and we need that $900 to get him started. Its sad … shouldn’t the kids come first?

I enrolled my daughter in this school and she has said she didn’t enjoy it because of the teachers. Moreover she said that the students scared her as well but soon we moved out and now I will not ever be enrolling my newborn here

I do not have the words to describe what Summit West has done for our child. We moved him to SWIS from public school where he had become a shell of himself. The staff has treated him like family and has invested in his emotional and academic wellbeing. In five short months SWIS has turned our child around and we cannot express our gratitude enough! This school is AMAZING! I highly recommend it!

We enrolled our Son first. He needed to be away from bad influences at the public junior high...

He’s managed to recreate himself and improve his grades under Brad’s direction and the rest of the team!

We then enrolled my daughter 1yr after. She has had a great experience being able to focus on saving time and keeping focus on her work.

There is so much wasted time in the public & catholic school systems.... bad influence and pressure from other kids and social media drag them down as well..

Both of my children have increased their personal confidence and are doing much better.

I've had 3 children attend this innovative and inspirational school and couldn't be happier. Program is tailored to the individual child's learning needs and level. One on one instruction time is available and students learning style is built into the normal school program.

I reccommend going to this school because this independent program will actually prepare you to post secondary. Whenever you are stuck one subjects the teachers will come and sit with you 1 on 1 command and go through the things together. The school is organized, and teachers are very nice and kindly. This school deserves a 5 star

Amazing school program from PreK to G12 where students learn as self directed, in their own way. Touring available during school hours. Fully accredited, school uniform, creating the space for the possibility of anything !
