We consistently rank among the top schools in Alberta and proudly stand as the sole institution in Canada offering the innovative educational framework of Integral Formation.

Clear Water Academy offers families a compelling proposition: a commitment to the highest quality education delivered through the Integral Formation® model. Aligned with the Regnum Christi Education Network, we dedicate ourselves to nurturing the complete development of each child, fostering their intellectual, spiritual, human, and apostolic capacities. Within our nurturing environment, students thrive as they grow in their relationship with God and are equipped to become Christian leaders, ready to embrace and utilize their unique gifts to serve others. Our motto, Semper Altius, meaning, “Always Higher,” reflects our ethos inspiring students, parents, and faculty alike to continually pursue excellence and personal growth in all areas of life.
Clear Water Academy's history has been shaped by several key junctures. Our affiliation with the Regnum Christi Education Network established our foundation in Integral Formation®, which remains central to our education philosophy. The development and enhancement of our campus, including the addition of our new Elementary building, St. Thomas More Hall, current expansion and renovations to Athlone Hall, provided the facilities necessary for a comprehensive educational experience. Being the only private Catholic school in Alberta, we've developed a unique identity, allowing us to attract families who value a faith-integrated education. These milestones have solidified our reputation for excellence in both academics and spiritual formation.
At Clear Water Academy, we offer a distinctive educational experience that challenges students to pursue excellence in academics, athletics, and personal development. Our rigorous curriculum, small class sizes, and dedicated faculty create an environment where students are encouraged to think critically, communicate effectively, and strive for their personal best. Through our athletics program, students build discipline, resilience, and teamwork—on and off the field. While our school is rooted in Catholic values, we welcome families who appreciate a structured and supportive environment that promotes integrity, leadership, and character. The ideal student is motivated, open to growth, and eager to contribute meaningfully to their community. Families who seek high standards, balanced development, and a culture that supports both achievement and values will find a strong fit at Clear Water Academy.
Our school, Clear Water Academy, is deeply rooted in the rich traditions and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. It's essential for families considering enrollment to prioritize the Catholic faith and embrace its beliefs to fully benefit from our educational model of Integral Formation. Our rigorous academic program, aligned with Alberta certification standards, emphasizes excellence in literature and mathematics, encouraging students to strive for their highest academic achievements.
At Clear Water Academy, our dedication to academic excellence goes hand in hand with our commitment to nurturing ethical and compassionate individuals grounded in their faith, preparing them to excel not only academically but also as Christian leaders in their communities.
Families choose Clear Water Academy for its commitment to academic excellence in a safe, caring, and fun environment, emphasizing character and moral growth. The prestigious University Preparatory program secures children's university placements.

Clear Water Academy offers a faith-filled environment with small classes and a dedicated faculty, enhancing the education experience and cultivating future leaders prepared for post-secondary education. Our commitment to forming Christian leaders is evident in our approach, of engaging students not only with high academic standards but also with strong character formation. We empower students to be well-prepared and confident as they embark on their future journeys and choices, ready to make a positive impact on the world.
An underappreciated aspect of Clear Water Academy is our deep commitment to fostering leadership and service through faith-based initiatives. While our academic excellence is often highlighted, the extensive opportunities we provide for spiritual and personal growth deserve equal recognition. Programs like Challenge and Conquest empower older students to engage in meaningful community service and leadership development, reinforcing their faith through action. Our vibrant Catholic community plays a crucial role in shaping well-rounded individuals who are not only equipped for academic success but also prepared to serve their communities with integrity and compassion. Rooted in the teachings of Christ, our school is more than a place of learning, it is a family where every student, faculty member, and family is valued. Guided by faith and compassion, we live out our call to serve others, celebrating each person’s God-given gifts and walking together in friendship and spiritual growth.
Families might be surprised by how seamlessly faith is integrated into daily learning at Clear Water Academy. Our approach deeply involves students in spiritual formation through activities like daily prayer, weekly masses, and frequent access to the Sacraments. This immersive experience is not only for spiritual growth but also enriches students' personal and intellectual development. Additionally, our commitment to accessibility through financial aid and flexible tuition options may surprise families who perceive private education as inherently exclusive. We are dedicated to building a supportive community rooted in faith, where active parent engagement and professional collaboration foster a welcoming and united environment.
In keeping with our Catholic tradition, we recognize parents as the first and foremost educators of their children and work in partnership to guide each child’s spiritual, academic, and personal growth.
In April 2024, Clear Water Academy launched a strategic planning process to guide the school’s growth and mission into the future. This included a SWOT analysis with input from the Board of Directors, Leadership Team, Faculty, Parents, and Students. As of May 2025, the plan is 75% complete and focuses on three key priorities: cultivating joyful, skilled, and mission-aligned faculty; enhancing the delivery of the Four Dimensions of Student Education and Formation—including improvements to Elementary and Secondary Athletics and Extracurricular Programs—and enriching the authentically Catholic experience for our community. In alignment with these goals, significant infrastructure projects are underway. Phase One of the four-phase renovation of Athlone Hall, home to our secondary programs, is in progress and expected to be completed by December 2025. Plans for a new athletics facility, featuring a $7–8 million gym, are also advancing, with construction targeted for spring 2026.
In the next five years, Clear Water Academy will continue to evolve by expanding our facilities to support innovative learning environments and accommodate growing student interest. We plan to enhance our spiritual and leadership programs, providing more opportunities for students to engage in meaningful community service and personal development. By fostering a thriving Catholic community and advancing our academic and extracurricular offerings, we aim to solidify our reputation as a leader in well-rounded education, preparing students to excel in faith, academics, and leadership. The continued development of our campus, including the ongoing expansion and modernization of Athlone Hall, and the addition of gymnasium space in Harvey Hall, reflects our commitment to providing an engaged, faith-filled environment. These enhanced facilities support students’ growth in learning, athletics, and community, equipping them to thrive academically and spiritually.
