The Board of Buffalo Trail Public Schools is a member of the Rural Caucus of Alberta School Boards. On the RCASB website it showcases ‘Flourishing Stories” from rural Alberta schools.

This month, we were proud to showcase the BTPS Art Academy program!

The BTPS Art Academy at Wainwright High School was a week-long immersive event designed to provide high school students with a deep dive into the world of art. Led by a seasoned teacher, administrator, and local artist from BTPS Eryn White, the academy aimed to enhance students' artistic skills, foster creativity, and build a supportive community of aspiring artists.

The event offered full-day sessions packed with thorough guidance, hands-on activities, and dedicated studio time. Participants had the opportunity to earn 3 credits in either Art 10 or Art 20, adding value to their academic profiles while engaging in captivating art projects.

The collaborative environment enriched the overall learning journey, with students networking and exchanging ideas with peers from different schools. Thanks to the support of all involved, the BTPS Art Academy was a resounding success!
