Foothills Academy Society

Since 1979, Foothills Academy Society has supported those with Learning Diagnoses and/or ADHD. 

Our programs primarily support children, youth and their families, however we provide programs across all ages. We understand the difficulties and challenges facing those we serve and their families, be it academic, social, emotional/behavioural, or financial. At Foothills Academy Society, we create and deliver all of our programs supported by our three core values;

 Find Understanding

Build Confidence 

Maximize Potential

We are fundraising to support developing two new program areas; a climbing wall and a black box theatre. These program areas will be able to support all program areas at Foothills Academy Society.

Our staff leadership team are leading the charge in our return to the Calgary Marathon and our fundraising efforts. They will be competing to out fundraise and out race each other starting in April. The winner will have the sweet taste of victory, and the losers will have their outfits/hair/make-up and more chosen for an entire week by the winner.

Follow along on our social media accounts to see the action, starting in April on;
