–
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Calgary Changemaker School at the conclusion of this academic year, effective August 2024. This difficult decision arises from sustained financial challenges exacerbated by the pandemic and rising costs in our province, which, despite our exhaustive efforts, proved insurmountable.
We are committed to finishing the year upholding the high standards of integrity, ethics, and educational excellence that have distinguished our school since its inception. As we approach the end of the school year, our focus remains steadfast on supporting our students and staff as they transition to new educational opportunities, many of which have already been arranged for the coming year.
Please note, our website now reflects these changes, indicating that we are no longer accepting new applications for enrollment or homeschool programs, nor will we be offering summer camps.
Our sister site created by our school’s founder, ChangemakerWorkshops.com, will temporarily pause its activities. This platform aims to eventually resume offering educational consulting and workshops in a revamped format. Its website and social media channels will stay active.
As we navigate this transition, please be aware that any future schools, groups or organizations using the Changemaker name, philosophy, or operating in our current school facilities will not be associated with our school or its founders. Our legacy is unique, and while our operational chapter is closing in August, we hope and expect that our work will continue to inspire others.
Our time spent with students has been filled with learning, growth, and countless moments of joy. The spirit of creativity and innovation that has defined us will continue to live on in each of us. We are immensely grateful for your support, whether from simply subscribing to this newsletter and cheering from the sidelines, to any kind of significant contribution over the years. We are all poised to move forward with hope, embracing new beginnings with the courage and resilience that epitomize what it truly means to be a Changemaker.
The Team at Calgary Changemaker School
