Calgary Seminary building for sale? (across from Beaverbrook High)

It is! I used to go here back in the day. It was a while ago now!

This makes sense. I know one of the seminary teachers was asked to relocate recently

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the building TSCC used for release-time seminary at Lord Beaverbrook High School in SE Calgary? (I went with friends once, but that was 25 years ago now and I can't remember).

Absolutely love that TSCC is shedding real estate holdings in Calgary too!

I don't think they have had release-time seminary at Beaverbrook for a while. The enrolment at that school has been low for a long time now, since they opened up the new high schools in the south.

There is still release-time at Centennial school, but they have spent the last couple of years trying to pressure kids to take the classes during school time so they can keep their teacher. Students want to have room for options and extra academic courses, so when it comes down to choosing between chemistry or seminary, it's a tough sell to a practical student. So the full-time teacher there is being moved to a rural area. This is probably the same teacher mentioned by u/wicket_tl - are you in my stake?

I am hearing chatter that they will still try to keep some daytime classes at that high school by calling members to teach a class or two, if they can find people who don't have daytime work commitments. Nobody likes early-morning seminary, but students here also go to school with so many non-members that they likely feel like they are missing out on a lot if they give up two classes a year to go to seminary.

There are online options available but I think they try to keep those options out of general knowledge until it's a last resort for families. I am hearing more families talk about how to do that, though, usually because they want to do seminary but the times don't work out for them because their kids go to different schools or have extra-curriculars in the morning. I think the church would have more success with seminary if they focused on making it work for students instead of just pressuring people to attend (or teach) because they are supposed to.
