The Forge Academy: Alberta’s Modern Skills School

​

The Forge Academy is Alberta’s adaptation of the world-renowned Swiss Vocational Education and Training (VET) system, often called the gold standard in skills education. We combine strong academics with real-world, hands-on learning to prepare students for both post-secondary success and meaningful careers.

 

Built for Alberta’s Future

 

Our students don’t just study — they build, design, lead, and create. Through industry-informed, project-based learning, students gain practical experience in areas like:

• Audio and Video Production

• Computer Networking and Cybersecurity

• Digital Media and Animation

• Sales, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship

• Business Administration and Innovation

• Health and Wellness Technologies

• Cosmetology and Landscaping

 

Why The Forge?

​​

• Strong academics grounded in the Alberta curriculum

• Career exploration and technical skill development from Grade 10

• Real-world projects and industry-grade equipment

• A launchpad for college, apprenticeships, the workforce or your own business.

 

Forging Futures Starts Here

 

At The Forge Academy, we don’t just prepare students for tests — we prepare them for life. Whether they want to produce a podcast, direct a show, build a brand, or build a city, they’ll start forging their future here.
