Our PTA is an important bridge between Canadian Academy and the parent community. 



The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) has been a part of the school community since 1920. Our PTA proudly helps foster community spirit and create opportunities for social and fundraising events. The PTA also facilitates dialogue regarding issues of general interest to parents, faculty, and students. Getting involved is a great way to meet other families and be a positive influence in the community.

PTA meetings are open to all members of our parent/guardian community. CA families and faculty are automatically considered PTA members, and are encouraged to attend meetings. Meetings are generally held on rotating days, in the morning of each month. Please drop in and get involved! We always welcome extra hands.

The PTA creates meaningful impact at Canadian Academy. Their contributions include support of our Artist in Residence program, hosting the International Food Fair and ES Fall Celebration, running the Booster Club and Parent Partner organization, financially supporting lasting gifts and the Outstanding Graduate award, and more!

Discover how the PTA contributes to our CA community:

New Family Welcome

At the start of school, we provide an overview of the different activities and events the PTA supports, and outline how you can be an active member of our CA community.

Sports Day

An all school event, we provide a 'rest stop' for our active children, giving them a nice treat with which to cool off and catch their breath.

ES Fall Celebration

Always a thrill and a chill, this afternoon party is for our elementary aged children. Games, costumes, and prizes are always a hit and a wonderful way to celebrate.

International Food Fair

The biggest event of the year! National costumes and food are always a highlight, as we transform our gymnasium and atrium into a smorgasbord of food, fun, and performances.

Parent Partner Program

A valuable network of partner volunteers who organize and communicate at each grade level. Our parent volunteers are among the first to welcome new families to Canadian Academy, introducing the many opportunities for involvement, both inside and outside of CA.

Booster Club

During sporting events and activities, the Booster Club operates a very popular snack booth. All proceeds support our children directly through Canadian Academy's Activities office.

Falcon Store

Need some CA swag? Our Falcon Store is the place to pick up a sweatshirt, t-shirt, or ball cap (amongst other items) for every member of your family.
