Frequently Asked Questions

  • Beginning in the 2024/25 school year before care will be available from 8:00am to 8:25am for those fully registered in the program.  

  • Families can register for part time care for 2 days or less a week. Being registered in the Aftercare Program grants access to register for care on all scheduled professional development (PD) days, learning conferences and organizational days at no extra cost, and access to priority registration for camp programming. 

  • Alberta Classical Academy and our Classical Child Care program has qualified to receive childcare affordability grants and for families to apply for childcare subsidies at our Bridgeland, Calgary campus through the Government of Alberta’s Child Care Subsidy Program. For more information, please visit: 

     https://www.alberta.ca/child-care-subsidy#jumplinks-3. 

    Please contact our Aftercare Director Mrs. Garza at irais.garza@classicalacademy.ca for any questions or guidance. 

    Families registering for the aftercare program at the Calgary Currie Campus are not yet eligible for childcare subsidies through the Government of Alberta’s Child Care Subsidy Program. However, we anticipate the program qualifying for eligibility in August 2024, and will share any information as it becomes available.

  • Alberta Education does not provide additional funds to support extra-curricular programs outside of regular school hours. Moreover, for Kindergarten children, funding is only provided for half-time programs.

    For that reason, we are required to charge fees for both the full-time/extended kindergarten program, as well as for before/after-school programming. These fees are charged on a cost-recovery basis, and do not exceed the cost of administering the programs. Fees support the cost of materials/supplies, and the additional staffing that is necessary to deliver these programs.

  • We are currently developing a plan to offer specific after-school clubs and hope to pilot some programming next school year at the Calgary Currie campus. These may include team sports, classical dance, music, choir, studio arts, chess, French, Spanish, Mandarin, science, cross-country, and martial arts. Any programming offered will not be affiliated with the Classical Childcare program or the government subsidy programs. More information will be provided as soon as it is available.
