For the current weekly FIT schedule, click here . FIT is designed to help freshman develop a sense of belonging within the Edgewood Commmunity. This diversity in background has social benefits, but presents some practical academic problems because students enter with various level of preparation. Edgewood tries to provide a common experience for all freshmen through the FIT Program.
Communications develop between disciplines through projects and team teaching.
Reasearch, grammar, logic, interpretation, critical analysis, essay writing, and debates are the tools used to help freshman acquire skills that will be useful in their academic careers and throughout life. Another FIT feature has been the integration of technology across the curriculum. By using Internet sources and various software programs in their classes, students become familiar with computers as a means of gathering, manipulating, and sharing information. Group activites include a freshman retreat, guest speakers, Secret Santas, Olympic Games, and field trips. The FIT schedule allows for flexibility in class length as well as the opportunity for team teaching.
