U of A Partnership

Our Partnership

In 2013, Riverbend Junior High School entered a community partnership with the University of Alberta through the inception of the Sports Performance class. Through this partnership, we have created a sports performance class that is recognized as one of the best in Canada. On alternating days, we take our sports performance students to the U of A campus, whereby we are instructed by their exceptional coaches and staff members. Our students have access to their state of the art facilities, top notch coaches, and are treated like high level athletes. Riverbend students are fortunate enough to train beside many of the athletes they grow up cheering for, and witnessing some of the hard work and determination they put in to be some of the best university athletes in Canada. Riverbend is the only junior high who has this unique partnership with the U of A.
