About
Rundle Academy
Rundle Academy program meets the needs of students who have a diagnosed learning disability, with or without ADHD. Our students are in the average or the above-average range of intellectual functioning but have difficulties with specific academic activities and skills.
As a caring learning community, the Academy has become nationally recognized as a leader in education for complex learners. Rundle Academy is an engaging environment devoted to providing an enriched and personalized education to help children build confidence in their abilities, self-esteem, motivation and academic achievement.
Rundle Academy has grown into a premier program for students with learning disabilities, recognized nationally as a leader in education for complex learners. Its ongoing accomplishment is providing each student with a sense of achievement and a love of learning.
Located in the community of Altadore at 4330 – 16th Street SW, Rundle Academy serves a wide geographic area. The school currently occupies four buildings across two sites as shown in the overview diagram (Diagram 1). The Rundle Society owns the site of the Junior and Senior High School, shown in red; the separate gym is also located on this site.
​
The Elementary school is in a separate facility to the south, on land owned by the Catholic School Board (shown in purple). To the south of the School is the Altadore school (K-6), part of the Calgary Board of Education. All school lots are connected via a field to the east of the facilities, which is used by all schools and the community.
​
The Academy has significant limitations within its current space across all divisions and is also experiencing demand for additional enrollment particularly at the higher grades. As the current infrastructure ages, both the need for revitalization and pressure on available space has motivated the Academy to explore the redevelopment option.
Based on the review of several options, the Board of Directors accepted the recommendation from management to remain on the current site and explore redevelopment options.
We are excited to share the vision for the re-imagined Rundle Academy Junior high & Senior high school building concept design on this website. The new school facility can bring the school in line with modern schools that provide equitable access to natural light, warm finishes, & flexible & adaptable learning environments. We are confident that the new spaces will leave students, faculty, parents, community - everyone feeling like “this is a place I feel welcome".
