About Summit West Independent School

An independent school located in SW Calgary area (22X and 53St SW) that is based on student lead teaching. Students are taught how to learn, not what to learn, and develop an amazing approach to their education program. The education we provide is suitable to all levels of learners, and students set their own pace and learn in their own way with the assistance of a mentor teacher. We operate in the beautiful backdrop of the rocky mountains with a Pre K to grade 12, limited class size design. Come see the difference that independent learning makes!
