YSA Is Built on Community.
Join Us.
The Yuill School of Agriculture exists because of the people who believe in what it’s building — not just students and families, but ranchers, agribusinesses, educators, and community members who want to see agricultural education thrive in Alberta.
This school wasn’t dreamt up behind a desk. It was shaped around kitchen tables, in shop offices, at auction rings, and after long days in the field — by people who wanted Alberta’s next generation to understand the land that feeds them.
Ready for something different?
Are you a student in Grade 9 or above who is ready for something different? YSA is the only high school in Alberta where agriculture is the entire curriculum — not just a class.
- Earn your Alberta high school diploma while working a real farm
- Choose one of 12 specialized program pathways
- Get industry certifications before you graduate
- Connect with professionals who will know your name and your work
A real school. With real answers.
We know the questions parents ask. Is this a real school? Will my child get their diploma? What does post-secondary look like? What is the campus like? We have answers to all of these — and we’d love to show you.
- YSA students earn a full Alberta diploma, not a modified credential
- All core curriculum requirements (Math, English, Science, Social Studies) are met — taught through the lens of agriculture
- Strong post-secondary pathways to colleges and universities
- A safe, structured campus with a strong student support environment
Don’t just fund it. Shape it.
YSA’s industry partnerships are the engine that makes this school different. We’re not asking you to donate money to a program you never see. We’re inviting you to shape it — through mentorship, advisory roles, equipment partnerships, site visits, and work experience placements.
- Join the Advisory Council
- Provide a mentorship placement for a student in your field
- Offer a site visit, guest speaker session, or field day
- Contribute equipment, resources, or scholarships
Built by the community. Funded by the community.
Every dollar donated goes directly toward equipment, programming, and student opportunities that the base budget cannot cover — from industry certifications and field trips to specialized tools and scholarships.
Goes to students
Certifications. Cattle handling equipment. Greenhouse seedlings. Welding helmets. Drone licenses. Bee suits. A ride to the livestock auction. The things a base school budget doesn’t stretch to cover — but that make YSA YSA.
