Wishing all of our families and community members a very blessed Easter šŸ°šŸŒ·

This season is a beautiful reminder of renewal, hope, and new beginnings, values that are at the heart of what we are working toward together.

As we continue the journey of bringing a charter school to our community for 2027, we are so grateful for the support, encouragement, and belief from so many of you.

May your day be filled with joy, connection, and special moments with those you lovešŸ’›

Did you know?

In Alberta, charter schools consistently rank among the top-performing schools in the province on Provincial Achievement Tests and Diploma Exams.

They operate within the public system, but with a focused educational approach, smaller communities, and specialized programming.

šŸ“ŠResearch in Alberta has shown that charter schools often:

ā€¢ Achieve higher academic outcomes
ā€¢ Offer more individualized learning environments
ā€¢ Foster STRONG PARENT and COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Charter schools arenā€™t about replacing public education, theyā€™re about expanding choice and creating environments where more students can thrive.

At Wildwood Rural Academy, weā€™re building something different, something rooted in hands-on learning, land connection, and real world skills.

Because one model doesnā€™t fit every childšŸ’›

A New Legacy for Wildwood Education!

As our local school prepares to close in 2026, we are not just sitting by ā€” we are
building the future.
Introducing the Wildwood Rural Academy (WRA): a proposed Public Charter
School (K-9) designed specifically for our communityā€™s kids and our rural way of
life.

What makes WRA different?

1. Learning Through Stewardship: Hands-on agriculture, animal care, and rural trades integrated into every grade.
2. Neuro-Affirming: We believe learning differences are strengths! Our outdoor, tactile model is built for kids who learn best by doing.
3. Local & Free: As a Public Charter, there is NO tuition. We keep our kids in Wildwood and off long bus rides.

WE NEED YOUR VOTE! To get government approval, we must prove the demand. We need 100+ families to sign a "Declaration of Intent to Enrol." This is not a final registrationā€”it is a vote to tell the Minister:

"We want this school in Wildwood!"

Join us for a Coffee Social & Signing:
šŸ“…DATE: April 21st, 2026
šŸ•TIME: 6:30pm
šŸ“LOCATION: Wildwood Community Hall

Letā€™s keep our legacy alive.
