E2 Academy is more than just a K-12 school -- it's a community where twice-exceptional (2E) students can explore, belong, and thrive. These remarkable learners represent less than 2% of students province-wide, and E2 is one of only two schools in Alberta dedicated to their unique strengths and needs.
We offer a learner-centered, empirically grounded program with integrated supports that nurture independence, creativity, and self-advocacy. Our classrooms are lively, flexible spaces where curiosity, compassion, and critical thinking come together. We do not fix children, we help them adapt to a world that was not created with them in mind. Learn more at www.e2academy.com

Value relationships as the foundation for all learning.
Use positive reinforcement, gentle structure, and restorative practices to support regulation and growth.
Believe in learning that's inclusive, inquiry-based, and rooted in connection.
