The school is a “Candidate School” for the Primary Years Programme in pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy–a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education that the school believes is important for our students.

Mission: Calgary International Academy aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect, life-long learners, empowering students to be innovators in chosen fields, leaders in our communities, and the driving force of our future generations.

Vision: To lead in delivering cutting-edge educational methodologies and world-class programs, cultivating students who seamlessly transition to university, college, and lifelong learning. We believe that the active learning fostered in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) lays a solid foundation for future success in the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP). By integrating STEAM, we prepare young learners with the 21st-century skills and competencies essential for thriving in an ever-evolving world.
