I'm an
Individual
Glenmore Christian Academy (GCA) was established in 1980 as a private accredited Christian school located in the Southwest of Calgary, Alberta, specializing in the education of children in grades K-9. GCA is a member of the AISCA (Association of Independent Schools and Colleges in Alberta). GCA’s focus on educational and personal development excellence has led it to be consistently ranked as one of the best performing schools in Alberta. GCA has two principals and a staff of 80 serving approximately 870 students.
GCA offers an Out of School Care program made up of three components to complement the academic philosophy of the school. During school hours we provide full day Kindergarten care on non-kindergarten days through our Royal Cubs program. In addition, we have an ABC program (After/Before Care) that operates outside of school hours and offers additional care to school age children for families that need it. We are also excited to introduce a new Junior Kindergarten this year that will provide early education to two classes twice a week.
The Out of School Care Program has a part-time position in our ABC program which operates on school days from 7-9am and 3-6pm. This is a contract position from September to June with the potential of a renewal each year. Hours may vary on PD/non-instructional days. There is a possibility of working additional hours when there is a need for internal coverage.
