About the Founder

Dr. Neil Webber founded the school in 1996. He has spent most of his career in public service: first as a teacher with the Calgary Public and Catholic School Boards, then as an elected representative in the Alberta Government. He was Chairman of Telus Corporation and has served on numerous other corporate and public boards, including the Conference Board Council of Education. 

"Our School Mission is to prepare students to thrive in university and beyond. This mission will be accomplished by creating an environment of high expectations of achievement, behaviour, and service. Our society needs citizens with strong moral and ethical values, who believe in the responsibilities of citizenship and service to others. At Webber Academy, we will actively encourage the growth and development of these traditional values in our students. Participation in, and enjoyment of school life, will prepare our students for responsible involvement in their communities and our society as a whole.”
