Our Roots
With the help of Alberta Education, the charter process was completed and the first day of classes was September 2nd, 2008.
The Valhalla Heritage Society purchased the current school building from the Peace Wapiti Public School Division. The building was renovated and a new library and community center was added as an annex to the school.
We are now into our fourteenth year of operation as a rural public charter school. Public charter schools teach the regular Alberta Program of Studies, and more. They are given the task of pioneering research and innovation in education. They must have a unique and innovative idea that isn’t widely available in larger school districts. By exploring new avenues in teaching in a charter school it is anticipated that larger school districts may make use of the ideas and experiences that arise through their efforts.

The Valhalla Community School was started by a group of parents and local residents when adjustments were made to the local school boundaries in early 2008. The opportunity to start a public charter school was presented to the community. The parents and supporters in this small community northwest of Grande Prairie, Alberta, appointed a steering committee to explore and develop initiatives. This committee began a series of meetings with the stake holders in the local education system.
