Rundle Studio: A First in Alberta
Online learning with a like-minded community
Rundle Studio prides itself in discovering students who are a good fit for our outstanding academic and extracurricular programs, which are specifically designed for students who have been diagnosed with a learning disability, with or without ADHD, and reside in Alberta.
Our school focuses on preparing students for entry to post-secondary studies after high school through differentiated instruction and our well-rounded co-curricular program.
All of our students have Individual Program Plans (IPPs), which are developed in collaboration with students, their parents and teachers. Our students master their difficulties through our individualized programs, which are based on Alberta Education Curriculum.
Apply now for fall 2022

Application Timelines
We are currently accepting applications for September 2022 for grades 7, 8 and 9.
Applications and all required documents are reviewed by the Studio enrolment team. Once this is completed you will be contacted regarding the status of your application. This process takes about two weeks. Please note that we are unable to accept all students to our program.
Selected candidates are invited to attend a family interview. These interviews are conducted virtually and take about 45 minutes. During our time together families will have an opportunity to learn more about the program and ask questions. No preparation is required for this time.
Offers are communicated by email and all forms accompany the offer. Families have between one and two weeks to accept the offer. A tuition deposit is required upon acceptance of the offer.
Applicants to Rundle Studio must have an independent psychoeducational assessment conducted prior to applying to the school. Rundle does not conduct these assessments but can make recommendations to psychologists who may be available to assess prospective students. The assessment needs to have been conducted within the last three years of the application date.
The assessment needs to include both academic and intellectual testing. The tests that best fit these criteria are typically the WISC and the WIAT. Our mandate is to service students who have average to above-average intelligence and are diagnosed with a learning disability. Your child must be eligible for specific coding through Alberta Learning.
