Here is what teachers and students have to say about the School at the Legislature (SATL) program:

"It was an extremely valuable experience. I feel that being present at the site, and meeting people who are part of the government process made the learning meaningful for all my students."

"(School at the Legislature) made government come alive for the students - many said they learned more at the Legislature school than they ever would have from a textbook."

"I think that this was a very well planned and enlightening experience that ties in well with the curriculum. I would definitely do this again!"

"I was concerned how I would create a meaningful experience on the government unit - the School at the Legislature created the excitement!"

"My week at the Legislature was a wonderful experience. The guides were nice, the sites were so beautiful, the info was so interesting, everything was so enjoyable. As I have said, it was fantastic."

"I learned many things on government! I personally liked it because instead of just learning we also got to see what we were learning. That made it more interesting and easier to comprehend."

"I enjoyed the Legislature very much! I learned many things while I was there! Going to the Legislature made me understand more about government and how it works!"

"Pendant ma semaine a l'Assemblee Legislative, j'ai bien aime comment les gens qui nous guidaient ont essaye de parler en francais. La classe etait parfaite. Il y avait de tout : lavabo, micro-onde, frigo, ordinateur, tableau, et pleins de jeux. Ce que j'ai appris etait la difference entre le President et le Premier Ministre. Moi, je croyais que le President etait le Premier Ministre. J'etais vraiment impressionnee par la flamme qui est allumee depuis 42 ans. J'ai aussi bien aime la chambre. J'ai meme eu la chance de m'asseoir sur la chaise du President. La chambre des debats etait vraiment amusante, en plus des costumes! WOW! La sculpture de glace etait vraiment impressionnante. Moi, je ne savais pas qu'il y avait une capsule sur le terrain. Ils disent meme qu'en 2091 ils vont l'ouvrir, alors ca c'est excitant. Dans la chambre, il y a une masse et elle est posee sur une peau de castor. Ma visite la plus appreciee a ete celle de l'infrastructure et des palmiers.
J'ai appris et decouvert beaucoup de choses et c'est grace a vous. Merci de nous avoir donne cette chance. "

"This was an exceptional opportunity for our children. I believe that the kids learned far more than they ever could just reading a book. Nothing teaches like experience and the wealth of experience that has been shared with us is immeasurable."

"It is a rare occasion that the whole class is as excited about an experience such as this. Not only was my child excited, but it seemed the whole class was eager to learn about the legislature and the goings on at the legislature."

"The experience has even got my younger child asking if he can maybe come to the legislature sometime. The experience has interested younger siblings and even grandparents to ask questions. In my opinion this can only enhance the future of Alberta and even Canadian politics."

"Thank you for this incredible experience...Thank you for accepting us into your world. I only hope I am able to come back with my youngest son!"
