Western Canada High School | Calgary Board of Education

The school bathrooms look like a contant mango smelling fire almost choked from the smoke.

Excellent school. Phenomenal teachers better than private schools. Broad range of programs for all learning styles. Strong support for those with learning needs. Outstanding extracurricular offerings for all interests. Exceptionally caring administration. The school has worked very hard to manage their numbers and it shows!

My son is in gr. 12 now and in regular program. I am so happy with this high school

I go to it currently (2023) as a grade 11. The work load is fine as a regular student, sweet and simple so far. I tried taking IB courses back in 10th grade and I'll admit that its extremely stressful. it's quick, fast paced and barely gives you time to understand anything before moving forward. Most of it depends on the student's own will to learn. If you want your child to take IB courses I advice you to make sure they're actually ready for it. In course selections it literally says that the IB program is mainly for students that want to challenge themselves so it isn't really important academically. Even my teacher admits that theres no need to make yourself suffer unless you want to go to some foreign universities.

I went to this school on November 18, 1991 (13 days after arriving to Calgary as a landed immigrant) and graduated on June 1994. I still remember a few dear teachers such as Mrs. Tebo and Mr. Milner. Thank you!

Great school my daughter really enjoys being here.

My friend who attended here has faced many cases of ableism by both students AND staff. I was and am furious after they vented to me about this. They are autistic and often non verbal but a teacher got mad at this and YELLED at them to speak up or to just use your words. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable the workload put on them has even led them to attempting cause the teachers are not accepting to neurodivergent kids and in fact mock them for it.

Teachers are actually trash less then quarter of the teachers here are actually good. who wants to go to a school where the teachers complains about marking and says slurs. I don't think threatening students and being a hypocrite are a good way to teach. Not to mention the councilors and the staff. I email them asking questions and they only respond to one question per email. It's genuinely annoying how I had to send a councilor 5 emails because they weren't answering my questions. so much for the best school in Calgary. Would've had a better time at the worst school in the city then here.
