In 1974, the school moved to the site on which it currently stands, a twenty-acre woodlot near the Trans-Canada Highway and the Canada Olympic Park; by this point it had grown to offer K-10 education.

Shortly after moving into the rebuilt school, Chinook Winds expanded to offer a full K-12 education.

The school follows curriculum guidelines set out by the Alberta Ministry of Education and the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists.

The Cyclones compete in boys and girls volleyball, softball, soccer, basketball, floor hockey, badminton, track and field, and co-ed flag football.

At the high school level, CWAA has a choir and a band, both of which go on yearly tours, and regularly compete in the Kiwanis Music Festival.
