Great News!
Thanks to the many individual donations that we have received in the past, we were able to apply for a matching grant through the Alberta Government’s Community Spirit Program. We were awarded with over $20,000 to be used to further our technology plans. Look for some new equipment, coming soon!

Tuition Fees Adjustment!
To help people consider private education during the current economic realities, Banbury will be reducing the price of tuition for all grades for the 2010/2011 school year. Check out the new fees schedule in the Admission section of the website.
Location
At this time, our intention is to stay in our present location on the Currie Barracks for 3-4 more years as Canada Lands develops the area. The building we occupy is part of the final phase of that development. During this time we will be seeking a suitable place for the future.
Banbury X-roads…X-perience IS the Difference
Making an educational choice is like being at a crossroads. In choosing Banbury, our parents know that our developmentally appropriate and personalized experiences are second to none.
Learning and Life
The foundations of Banbury Crossroads provide a well-balanced, stable and enriched learning opportunity. All academics are given appropriate attention, and mastery of subjects is emphasized through an approach that recognizes the need for authentic and relevant experiences to learn and evaluate. When our learners ask questions, we promote finding the answer “outside the box”. We support this effort with comprehensive/integrative teaching strategies that always anticipate the day when our graduates will be socially responsible leaders in the larger community. We never forget that learning and life go hand in hand.
Experiential Education…
At Banbury, concrete experience is valued. Students are encouraged to go beyond the four walls of the classroom. Field trips, volunteerism, internships, and project work bring life to study.
There is no better place to raise a child…
Because we recognize the empowering qualities of educating the whole child, you will feel a sense of home away from home when you enter the school. This caring environment promotes a contributive outlook in the minds of our learners, and we constantly reinforce the benefits of sharing, collaborating and stewardship.
To feel safe, secure and satisfied…
The personalized nature of learning at Banbury means everyone plays a part in maintaining a culture of mutual respect. At Banbury, our desire to assist the leaders of tomorrow to become empathetic and understanding citizens, who lead through their outstanding character and competency, begins while growing in a place where a sense of learning, security and satisfaction are present.
