For 13 years Clear Water Academy has been offering excellence in Catholic education. Centered upon the principles of the Catholic faith, the Integral Formation philosophy of education at Clear Water Academy seeks to educate the whole person. This proven educational model emphasizes academic excellence and spiritual formation as well as a strong program of character development and commitment to apostolic works. Clear Water Academy’s mission is to provide the highest quality education while developing Christian leaders in service to our community. One of only a few schools in Canada to offer a gender specific approach to education, Clear Water Academy is one of Alberta's premier private schools and has been ranked as Alberta's top school by the Fraser Institute in their annual report on elementary schools over a 5 year period up to 2007.

As an accredited university preparatory school, Clear Water Academy offers its students a core academic curriculum taught by highly qualified teachers, as well as specialized courses such as Religion, Spanish, Latin, Outdoor Education, Music, Art and Drama.  Spiritual growth is encouraged through the celebration of mass, confession, retreats and one on one guidance. Building on their solid academic and spiritual foundation, students participate in virtue programs, service projects and a number of extra curricular activities. The Deans of Students promote character and apostolic development, helping students gain a better understanding of self and the difference they can make in the world around them. Our Athletics Department offers an exceptional sports development program including physical education and fitness classes, an active intramural program, dynamic inter-school competition in all of the major sports, and a consummate outdoor education program.
