Lifelong Learning, One Honest Step at a Time (PreK-12th)

From their first day in preschool to the moment they walk across the graduation stage, our students grow up with more than a college-prep education. They grow up with purpose. With curiosity. With the kind of guidance that helps them think for themselves and care for others. It’s not flashy. It’s just what works—and it’s what we’ve always believed in.

About Our School

For over 50 years, The Banff School has quietly done something rare—educated children with care, consistency, and heart. From preschool to senior year, students here grow up in a place that feels more like a family than a facility.

Our classrooms are small on purpose. That means more time with teachers who know their students by name, who show up early, stay late, and believe deeply in what they do.

We don’t chase trends. We build foundations—academic ones, yes, but also personal ones. We teach responsibility, resilience, and the kind of confidence that doesn’t need to shout to be heard.

This is The Banff School. A fully accredited, college-preparatory program where students are encouraged, challenged, and most importantly—seen.
