About the School
A K-9 Public Charter School – Northern Alberta’s First Rural Leadership Charter School
– Governed by Valhalla School Foundation
What Makes Us Unique
Valhalla Community School is a public charter school, offering an enhanced Alberta Program of Studies with an emphasis on Rural Leadership and second language studies in French.
Direct Instruction is one of the cornerstones of the innovative programming at VCS. The Direct Instruction approach is effective because it presents each concept in a clear and concise manner that systematically builds into the concepts of future lessons.
