Making Friends is Important

Academy and Collegiate students in the same grade are combined for physical education, integrated studies, lunchtime and breaks. This gives students a larger community to build friendships within and ensures our students always have company on the playground.

In high school (Grades 10–12), students select two options that run for the full year. In Grade 10, one of these options must be Physical Education or Outdoor Education. All students also complete the Alberta Education-mandated Career and Life Management (CALM) course, as well as our comprehensive three-year career preparation program. After the first semester of Grade 10, students can choose if they wish to continue in physical education.
