Academics

Through the purposeful integration of excellence in ACADEMICS, athletics and character-building, Edge School ensures an environment where students-athletes in Grades 5 through 12 achieve excellence both on and off the playing field.

We challenge our students to achieve a whole new level of excellence that reflects their personal best in leadership, ability, attitude, and effort. While addressing prescribed Alberta Education provincial learning outcomes, our academic curricula supports our mission as a first‐class university preparatory program, ensuring our students are welcomed by some of North America’s most prestigious post-secondary institutions.

To support these goals, Edge School staff and faculty, many of whom are former athletes, take into account student academic workloads and deadlines along with training, performance and competition schedules. We understand how student-athletes think and learn and apply a variety of teaching methods to help them deliver results of excellence. Supervised independent studies help students use their time effectively and online 'classrooms' allow students to stay connected with teachers while traveling. With a student / faculty ratio of 6:1 and small class sizes, our students receive the instruction and feedback they need to truly excel. Courses in all subjects and at all grades are developed and student programmes are shaped to prepare our graduates successfully for post-secondary education.
