HOLY HOUSES

EDUCATING YOUNG PEOPLE

The Gilbertine Academy provides an integrated Catholic education supporting parents as the primary educators of their children. Our programmes of study equip students to grow and thrive in a world that is often hostile to our Catholic faith. Our young people are not merely educated in this Holy House — we assist in their spiritual, human, and academic formation. We believe that education is so much more than the transfer of knowledge and skills and so we engage the whole person, as a beloved child of God with a supernatural destiny, in the pursuit of truth, beauty and holiness.
      The Gilbertine Academy, as an Ordinariate school, is steeped in the British academic tradition and is the only accredited school in the province of Alberta based in a parish Church under the direct authority of the clergy. We are an apostolate of the Companions of St. Gilbert of Sempringham, and of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and are based in our Church buildings.
      Our curriculum revolves around a four-year history cycle where materials presented in one class are reinforced by materials presented in another. We never teach one subject at a time — lessons in history beg a discussion of geography, philosophy, and political analysis; the masterworks of Catholic art and music engage conversations about those very same things; and every class is a class in religion! We value a classical and interdisciplinary approach to education, emphasising the virtues, integrated knowledge and skills, and an academic excellence that give our young people the best opportunity to succeed in this life and in the next. Specifically, the Gilbertine Academy is structured around the Four Pillars of Catholic Education in the Ordinariate: Sacred Worship, Sacred Wisdom, Sacred Music, and Sacred Art.
