Community Learning Campus

What would happen if an entire community learned together?

The Community Learning Campus project began in response to the Government of Alberta’s Rural Development Initiative and the province’s support of rural sustainability and growth. Early dialog with diverse stakeholders considered current and future educational delivery, opportunities for partnership and empowering the community. The result is a design with a combined focus on students, the community, rural growth, and lifelong learning. In addition to setting the benchmark for innovative educational delivery in Alberta, this project lead to increased high school completion rates, improved diploma exam results, expanded course offerings, and enhanced parent and student satisfaction with education in Olds.
