Golden Hills Learning Academy offers a complete junior high program. 

Our program offers students flexibility in their learning environment that traditional schools cannot provide. Students create their own timetable based on the required hours Alberta Education has for each course.

Junior High students who are successful in our courses are self-motivated, organized, and enjoy working independently. Parents (or Guardians) are the key to the success of this type of learning. We depend on them to help our Junior High students stay on task and keep up with their schedules. As most Junior High students are under 16 years old, we strongly encourage supervision of the program.  The GHLA staff works closely with the student and the parents in offering online, over-the-phone, and face-to-face tutoring and support.

Junior High students living outside of Golden Hills School Division will need to register before September 30th each school year.

Junior High students from within Golden Hills School Division can only move to GHLA within the school year if given a referral from their current school and our GHLA admin accepts the referral.
