Running two days per week, this new program is a great fit for families looking for a school with fewer students and a close-knit rural school setting. Children can benefit from more hands-on support, meaningful connections, and opportunities to build confidence, independence, and social skills.
For families who are homeschooling, considering school for the first time, or looking for a small and caring classroom, Gem School offers a unique option for Kindergarten.
Enrollment for Gem School’s Kindergarten program is now open! https://www.grasslands.ab.ca/page/registration

Created by physician and filmmaker Dr. Delaney Ruston, Screenagers explores the challenges many families face as young people spend more time on screens, social media, video games, and the internet. The documentary looks at how technology can affect attention, development, self-esteem, and mental well-being, while also offering practical and balanced strategies for building healthier habits.
By bringing students, families, and educators together in one room, the film creates a shared starting point for meaningful conversations about boundaries, balance, and healthy technology use.
This free screening is open to students, parents/caregivers, and educators. We hope you will join us for this important community learning opportunity!

Being at school helps children feel connected, confident, and supported. That sense of belonging matters.
