Master's Academy & College, founded in 1997, and also known as Master’s, Master’s Academy, and Master’s College, is a K-12 Christian school in Calgary, Alberta, Canada whose focus is on innovation, creativity, and foresight.[1] Master's originally developed it's teaching pedagogy through its research arm, the Profound Learning Institute. The Profound Learning Institute was then rebranded as Imaginal Education. Based on this unique model of Profound Learning/Imaginal Learning, Master’s joined Palliser Regional School District’s Alternative Program in 2008.[2]

The College consists of grades 7–12. Upon entering grade 7, each student is expected to have his or her own personal Apple laptop, as the College has a one-to-one computing policy.[5]
