Our Mission To improve student learning by providing a special focus on science and humanities in an environment in which learners strive to become ethical leaders, who find motivation and excitement in discovering and forging connections between science, mathematics, humanities and the arts. Innovative Curriculum for an Enriched Education Students at Science Alberta School are instructed in mathematics, science, language arts, social studies, physical education, art, music and a second language. 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.
