Testimonials

Ima Okafor - Parent

"As parents, we want the best for our kids. We want them to thrive and to be the best versions of themselves. For their part, our kids need to be seen as individuals and to be heard. Clear Water Academy checks all these boxes for our family. Through their Integral Formation education model, they educate the whole child. Each child is seen and heard and encouraged to be their best selves. My kids look forward to school because they are not only challenged academically, but they are constantly offered opportunities to grow in leadership that is grounded by faith values. They are supported by staff and faculty that are not just doing their jobs but truly living out a teaching vocation.

Our family is so glad we are part of the CWA community, and you would be too!"

Maria Llavallol - Parent

"We are very grateful to be part of the Clear Water Academy community. Our eldest child graduated in 2025 and is now studying Engineering at the University of Calgary, feeling well prepared for university. With three more children in Junior High and elementary school, we see how CWA combines academic excellence with a personalized approach and strong support from teachers and staff. What we value most is the school’s spiritual formation. Through prayer, Mass, retreats, and service opportunities, CWA works closely with families to educate children in the values and principles of the Catholic faith."

Harling & Carlos Sierra - Parents

"Faith has always been a big part of our family, and Clear Water Academy really feels like an extension of that. Our daughter, Emma, gets so many chances to practice her faith, show kindness, and learn in ways that actually make sense to her. We love seeing her grow—not just academically, but socially and spiritually, too—and it’s amazing to have a school that supports the same values we live by at home."

- Alejandra Delangel Jimenez - Parent

“Clear Water Academy has been more than a school for our family — it has become a second home. Our children feel known, supported, and encouraged… As parents, we feel blessed with the partnership we’ve found here… What has meant the most to us is the genuine care and intentionality behind everything the school does… Choosing Clear Water Academy has been one of the best decisions we’ve made.”

- Viki Stamatis - Parent

"Our children have both been part of the Clear Water community since Junior Kindergarten, and the nurturing environment and unwavering support they’ve received have helped them flourish academically and spiritually. We’ve watched them grow into confident, thoughtful individuals who have been given not only a strong academic foundation but also the essential soft skills they’ll carry throughout life. We are truly grateful for the way this school has shaped their hearts, minds, character, and futures. Our experience at Clear Water Academy has been a true blessing for our family. The teachers don’t just educate—they nurture, guide, and inspire. We are so grateful to be part of this community."

"Clear Water Academy has given me vast opportunities to become a versatile, well rounded person, and the leadership instilled in me will have a strong impact on my future endeavours. All the people I have encountered have shaped my character and prepared me moving forward into post-secondary education. Trips and volunteering activities such as Mission Mexico and our Pilgrimage across Italy have been some of the highlights of my life, and these memories will always remain close to my heart. Thank you Clear Water!"
