History
In 2002, a building near the Edmonton municipal airport was repurposed to become amiskwaciy Academy. amiskwaciy is the Cree word for "Beaver Hills." amiskwaciy is pronounced ah-misk-wah-chee.
Students come from across Edmonton and surrounding areas as well as from First Nations communities and Métis settlements throughout Western Canada and the Northwest Territories. Most are First Nations, Métis or Inuit, but the school welcome students of all cultures.
In addition to its academic programming and teachings on the Medicine Wheel, amiskwaciy Academy offers CTS programs such as Cosmetology, Construction Technology, and Foods and Fashion Studies. Through community partnerships, amiskwaciy Academy provides hot breakfast and lunch programs, family support and the University of Alberta Community Service-Learning program.
