  When we learned my husband's work would be moving us to Calgary for 3 years, we searched the area carefully for a school our children could thrive at. The company was willing to pay for private school so we jumped at the opportunity. Our public school experience had begun a fast decline in the states so the change was a welcome one. Webber has been a fantastic school for our children.
  It reminded me of how public school used to be for us growing up, with parents welcome to freely visit children in the classrooms, pulling them out (for appointments and such) without a fight, and being thanked graciously for any and all volunteer work. The public schools as of late had been failing us in that regard and treating our children as a mere number, and us as parents as an intrusion upon their time and "schedule."
  Always a kind word for our children and for us, their parents. We always felt welcome and included.
  Despite being the "new" kids, our children made friends and found a wonderful home at Webber. A huge added bonus was having ALL four children at the same school facility, which made coordinating schedules and driving SO much easier. Especially in the winter months.
  We had children in Elementary, Junior High and Senior High, so we saw each level of the school first hand through our children and through our volunteer time there. I am very pleased with what we experienced. I felt more welcome at Webber than at any previous public school my children attended.
  My children worked hard--just as we would expect them to at any school, but the standard of expectation with a private school pushed our children to reach even further. We saw a vast number of students approach the work with differing levels of excitement--just as you will find at any school. But the standards of expectation didn't change, and so the quality of teaching stayed the same. If our child was struggling with an area of study, the teacher worked with them one on one to assist them. We struggled to get that in a public school setting.
  We're grateful for the cultural diversity at the school that enabled our children to continue their learning and appreciation for the world at large.
  So grateful for the opportunity our children had to attend Webber Academy and the confidence it has helped instill in our children via the hard work and caring of the teachers, and staff.
