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;
