Follow Your Passion. Drive Your Education.
A passion for sports or dance can positively drive a passion for education and character development. That is why we developed The Academy Grande Prairie.
This Program of Choice integrates excellence in education, athletics, and positive character development in every day of our student-athletes' educational experience.
Come join us! See what passion-driven education can do for you.
The Academy Grande Prairie is offered out of eight schools across the Grande Prairie Public School Division. Our main campus is at Alexander Forbes School – The Academy School.
Students in the following schools are able to register for Academy Programs without leaving their boundary schools.

Students who live out of the school boundaries listed, and who want to attend Academy programming may apply to do so at Alexander Forbes.
The Academy has two main branches: Skills Academy (Hockey, Dance, Soccer, Golf) and Academy Athletics (multi-sport). Each of our schools listed will be able to access Academy Skills and Athletics programs.
The Grande Prairie Composite High School offers The Academy Athletics for its students. High school students looking to enroll in a Skills Academy will attend Charles Spencer High School.
Program offerings are dependent on meeting minimum enrollment numbers.
Our Mission
To create a distinctive community dedicated to true passion-based learning. To be an Academy Student means to commit to the highest standard of personal integrity, honesty, and academic growth. By combining this commitment to the pursuit of one’s own passion, we believe we can create a positive environment in which each student-athlete will realize their potential; academically, personally, and within their passion of choice.
