At Sherwood Park Global Studies Academy, our mission is to provide scholars with opportunities to investigate the world.
Our scholars are taught to recognize perspectives, create questions, communicate ideas, take action, and value differences. We conduct inquiry-based learning, engage in service learning projects, and promote life experiences that enhance global awareness. We encourage scholars to be lifelong learners.
Sherwood Park Global Studies Academy is an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP). Sherwood promotes the learning of new knowledge and skills through a commitment to high-quality, challenging, and inquiry-based education. As an IB World School, each grade level, pre-K-6th, explores our world through six transdisciplinary units that focus on the development of the whole child (academic, social, and emotional):
- Who we are
- Where we are in place and time
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organize ourselves
- Sharing the planet
These units are taught with an emphasis on collaboration, global mindedness, digital literacy, and scholar agency. In addition to the six transdisciplinary units, each scholar has an additional Spanish and Global Studies class elective. To learn more about our International Baccalaureate World School Programme at GRPS, check out our Points of Pride or request a tour of our school.
We have incorporated distance learning for years and are poised to be a leader in the district as a blended model of new technologies and old practices, giving our students the best of both worlds. Our 1-to-1 student technology device approach ensures that every student has the opportunity to learn inside and outside the classroom.

The Grand Rapids Board of Education unanimously approved a plan Monday to build a new school on the site of Aberdeen Academy.
Grand Rapids Public Schools will close all schools on Tuesday as the City of Grand Rapids deals with a water main break that has prompted a boil water advisory for a large portion of the city.
Twenty-two Grand Rapids Public Schools buildings have been impacted by the water main break and subsequent boil water advisory issued by the City of Grand Rapids.
