HEADMASTER'S WELCOME

Welcome to Tanbridge Academy. Tanbridge is a relatively new school in Calgary. This is our third year operating as an accredited school. While we do not have a long history, we do have an exciting future. Through the vision and commitment of Shauna and Ryan Ockey, the Tanbridge Board, our association with National Sports Development and our dedicated and talented staff, Tanbridge is well on its way to becoming a world leader in providing students with programs to develop their abilities in school and sport.

The key to academic and athletic excellence is the mastery of foundational skills. At Tanbridge, we provide our students with the environment, culture and program to master these skills and to use them in the pursuit of excellence in school and sport.

The motto of Tanbridge Academy is "Adversity, Perseverance, Triumph."

Adversity represents the challenges that all students confront as they progress through their school years. Our goal at Tanbridge is not to shield our students from these challenges, but to provide them with the skills they need to overcome them.

Perseverance is the process of developing the character and determination necessary to deal with daily challenges and to maintain focus on the task at hand.

The third part of our motto is Triumph: the intrinsic reward of hard work, the realization of achieving goals, and the satisfaction students gain from working hard for what they have achieved.

We are very excited about the start of another school year. We believe our focus on academic and athletic development continue to provide our students with outstanding opportunities to achieve outstanding results. Excellence and high expectations are ingrained in the culture of Tanbridge.

I encourage you to explore our website and familiarize yourself with our school. And I encourage our students, teachers, parents and staff to embrace the coming year and all the exiting opportunities it presents.
