Académie Saint-André Academy’s kindergarten program is based on the developmental approach to growing and learning, whether in English or French immersion. It contributes to a positive self-concept while enhancing each child's physical, emotional, social, creative, moral, intellectual, and spiritual development. Our Kindergarten programs are full days, two days a week, and every other Friday. Busing is available to our kindergarten students. ASAA is open to students of ALL FAITHS.
ASAA is proud to offer exemplary early learning programs to all students at our school. Our students become welcome and loved members of the ASAA school community and have all of the support and services available to students in our elementary schools. Your child has access to

"Early childhood is a significant period in human development. Independence, initiative, decision-making, creativity, the ability to learn, relate to others, and feelings of self-worth all begin in early childhood. What young children learn at this stage will have a major impact on successful learning experiences in school, on personal development, and future participation in society" (Alberta Education).
