The school provides additional instruction time to enrich the mathematics and science curriculum by condensing the time allocated to other subjects. Students also participate in problem solving activities with a science or mathematics theme. Independent work habits are also necessary to manage the task demands of the enriched curriculum. Junior High classes will be added beginning in 2000. Students will experience a seemless transition to Junior High and will receive excellent preparation for High School.
Regular homework is an important contributor to positive academic achievement and success.
Students are assigned homework on a regular basis to reinforce classroom learning, practice new skills and apply knowledge, and assist in the development of good study habits. The school includes 10 classrooms, a gymnasium, computer lab, science lab, library and fine arts facilities. To help accommodate students enrolled in the school, a transportation plan will be developed in consultation with parents. Please note that the cost of transportation is the responsibility of parents whose children use the service. Science Alberta School is a publicly-funded charter school.
