Holy House of Our Lady & St. John and Gilbetine Academy

Catholic Liberal Arts Education in the English Schooling Tradition

Holy House Calgary and Gilbertine Academy provide an integrated liberal arts curriculum rooted in the context of the academic and liturgical patrimony of the English Church in Communion with Rome. Our programme fosters “concrete support” (The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium) for families by providing students with the academic rigour and intellectual and moral dispositions needed for excellence. At Holy House, students learn that they are made for the stars but firmly rooted in the soil. They are pilgrims in this world, serving the common good of the society in which they journey, but also recognise that they are sojourning citizens of the City of God travelling to their homeland, a better country (Heb 11:16).      

Grades 1-8: Holy House Calgary's Shared Responsibility Programme satisfies the provincial outcomes for English Language Arts, as well as locally-developed courses in Latin and Catholic Culture, Catechism, and Church History, and provides home education enrichment courses in Choir, Art, Science, and PE. 

Grades 9-12: Gilbertine Academy’s programme meets and exceeds all outcomes for the Alberta Programs of Study and the Alberta High School Diploma requirements.
