Our Mission

The Rocky View Schools Leadership Academy (RVSLA) is a division-wide student leadership program that offers a full-year 5 credit Special Projects course for RVS students in grades 10, 11, or 12. The mission of RVSLA is to empower students to deepen their sense of self and broaden their network of connections in RVS and beyond. This program is delivered outside of the regular timetable and offers a blended learning environment in which students connect during both in-person workshops and online videoconferences over the course of the school year. Students learn from the expertise of practicing business and community leaders through off-site trips or guest presentations. Students develop skills in self-directed learning, collaboration, and communication and present an "exhibition of learning" at the program's annual Connect Summit event.
