Contributing to academic success

The Garfield Weston Awards for Excellence in Education honour school teams—teachers, administrators, and support staff—who make outstanding contributions to their students’ academic success through skill, dedication, and hard work.

Weston Awards acknowledge and celebrate the top performing schools in each of the following provinces:

Alberta
British Columbia
Ontario
Quebec

Exceptional Results
Awards are presented for outstanding achievement in several categories:

  • Overall academic achievement
  • Improvement in academics
  • Academic achievement in excess of expectations.

Selecting the Awards
The top 30 schools are short-listed for each award category after a thorough analysis of student results data. In each province, no more than 90 of the top performing schools are invited to participate in the awards program each year.

The Awards program is generously supported by The W. Garfield Weston Foundation. (http://www.westonfoundation.org/).
