About Legacies Academy
We believe in ‘Home-style Schooling’ We believe that childhood is a time to foster wonder, creativity, and discovery through play and exploration. We believe that children can receive quality academic education, while also nurturing a sense of curiosity, joy, and awe that encompasses a positive childhood. We believe that there are four teachers: the adults, the students, the classroom environment and nature. We believe that children learn because they want to, not because they are forced to remember. We believe in letting children learn at their own pace and always honouring the child. We believe in giving children an abundance of opportunities, time and access to beauty – like art, music, literature, nature, and their own imaginations. We believe this path isn’t just for childhood but for a lifetime of pursing interests, responding to adversity and building a life based on purpose, not perfection.
Legacies Academy is a private co-educational school in High River, Alberta, serving students at the early childhood level. The school is guided by values of creativity, curiosity, nurture.

Community & Culture
Legacies Academy cultivates a warm, family-oriented environment centered on what it calls 'home-style schooling.' The school emphasizes wonder, creativity, and discovery through play, with children encouraged to follow their interests at their own pace. Located next to George Lane Park, students spend equal time outdoors and indoors exploring. Multi-age classrooms foster a community where children teach and learn from one another in a family-like setting. The school's philosophy draws from Reggio-inspired, Montessori, Waldorf, and Charlotte Mason approaches, creating thoughtfully prepared environments with hands-on learning stations—from maker spaces to art studios to dramatic play areas—designed to actively teach and inspire curiosity.
Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity, equity, and inclusion information is not prominently featured on the website. The school does emphasize celebrating and valuing 'the uniqueness of every individual' and notes that all students are 'valued as individuals and guided to be responsible, respectful citizens of their school and the world,' but specific DEI initiatives or programs are not described.
Parent Involvement
The school emphasizes that community is 'of the utmost importance' in bridging home to school, and states it hosts events that welcome whole families and encourage 'a high level of involvement during each child's time at Legacies Academy.' Parents are invited to 'join the tribe' and become part of the school family. However, specific volunteer opportunities, parent committees, or communication channels are not detailed on the website.
