Tours are scheduled for the first Tuesday and last Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Being able to see the school and it's classrooms first hand, allows parents and professionals to get a feel for the learning environment Janus Academy creates for it's students. Once you have viewed the school, the first phase of the application process involves submitting an application form, which can be downloaded from the above link. Once the application is submitted, each applicant's file is assessed according to criteria specific to the upcoming school year. Considerations are made in the areas of space availability and in instructional and behavioral profiles of existing and applying students. If the intake team believes that Janus Academy is able to effectively meet an applicant's needs, parents will be contacted to schedule an in-school/home observation. We try to contact parents as soon as possible after the observation however, all final decisions may not be made before the end of May. Applications can be mailed (403-262-3333), emailed (janusacd@telusplanet.net) or faxed (403 693-2345) to the school.
