General Information
Progressive Academy is an independent private school providing excellent results in educating children from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada since 1984. We also deliver an exceptional preschool educational program for children 3 and 4 years of age.
Progressive Academy is centrally located in Glenora, providing easy access to Edmonton and area residents. Our premises are five blocks from Edmonton’s beautiful river valley, the Edmonton Space and Science Centre and downtown Edmonton. Our students are able to take an active part in Edmonton’s many exceptional community resources.
Our school facilities include classrooms, a technology centre, auditorium, library, music and art classrooms, two performance stages and a full-size gymnasium.

Truly the foundation of the ability to learn, literacy is a primary focus of the Progressive Academy program.

They’re growing up in a new age; one that demands more technical expertise and creativity.
Entrepreneurs
Confidence, self-worth, motivation and a drive to succeed. These are the qualities we instil in students.
Performing and Visual Arts
A balanced education includes much more than a few core subjects, and at Progressive we have lots of visual and performing arts opportunities for students.

2022-23 School Bus Service
Progressive Academy now runs several buses to the south side of Edmonton. We are hoping to add service to the north side in 2022-23. Depending on the area and the number and ages of children, we may be able to provide to-the-door pickup, but please note that most areas require central street stops. Fees are $90 per month per student. Unfortunately, as this is a highly subsidized program, we can not extend multi-student discounts for the bus. If you are interested, please fill out the Bus Request Form below, which will help us finalize our bus routes. If you are outside our current service areas,
Traffic
Please do not make 3-point turns near the school. The map attached shows that wherever you have parked near the school, it is possible to just drive forward to exit. Never back into intersections. The intersection by the school has four directions of students crossing, and backing into these spaces is extremely dangerous. Remember that the speed limit around schools is 30 km/h. When you enter the area, please respect all the neighbours and children walking to school by driving slowly even before entering the school zones.
