Taking advantage of our status as a small school, W. D. Cuts, is pleased to be the only junior high program in St. Albert to offer a completely academic morning with afternoons devoted to options and advisory classes. This innovative and unique program is tailored to the needs of young adolescents, providing academic instruction during optimal learning time along with a flexible afternoon, balancing school expectations with personal interests. Students who make effective use of their class time will find they do not have a large homework load.
Academic Morning (language arts. math, physical education, science, social studies)
· Optimal learning
· Consistent schedule – same core classes every day
· Focused morning environment
· By lunch time, academic expectations and homework are known to students
Option Afternoons
· More fieldtrip opportunities
· Easier access to community facilities
· Weekly advisory class – focused on healthy living, learning strategies, and study skills
· Flexible timetable – customized to individual student needs and special circumstances
As we pilot this student centered approach to learning, we recognize our student body is busy both within the school and activities in the community. This program will allow Cuts families the opportunity to plan for student success and balance in both academic and extra curricular pursuits. We invite parents to contact us to explore how we can help balance their child’s busy life around school, as well as community.
