Our Learning

School Office Hours: 8:30am-3:30pm
School Main Phone Number: 780-963-0507

In Core, students are assigned to multi-graded classrooms and attend Connections For Learning Monday through Friday from 8:35am-12:20pm to learn academic subjects (i.e. Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies). We have a strong focus on literacy and numeracy and also offer project-based learning, cross-curricular projects, and a flexible and alternative approach to subjects.

Teachers plan lessons and activities where the parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom (for a minimum of eight hours over the course of the school year).

During the afternoon, families can choose from one of the following options to meet the outcomes for Physical Education and Wellness (Gr. 1-9) Art and Music (Gr. 1-6) and Options (Gr. 7-9).

Parent/Home Programming

Outcomes are met by parents or designates at-home in consultation with teachers, who conduct visits to collaborate and create programs with them that meet the learning outcomes of the Alberta curriculum. The home programming portion provides flexibility for parents to choose resources that they feel meet the needs of their children and provide enrichment.

Teachers connect with parents a minimum of three times during the school year to ensure they are on track to meet the learning outcomes of Alberta's Programs of Study. Meetings are held at the school or via video conferencing.

My PATH (Grades 1-9)

Many of our students in the Core Program participate in My PATH, a community-based program that enables children to connect with and serve their community, to be active in a variety of environments, and to develop a positive relationship with finances, movement, food and nutrition.
