On behalf of the Board, administrators, teachers and
staff of the Calgary Science School I am very pleased
to introduce to you the Education Plan for 2009/2010
to 2011/2012.
During the 2009 to 2012 period, the Calgary Science
School will enter into the first year of its third successive
charter. Calgary Science School stakeholders
including parents, teachers and the CSS Board submitted
and received approval for our third charter renewal
agreement with Alberta Education in the early part
of 2009. This document maps out some new focuses
for the school that will complement the foundational
philosophies we have employed for the last ten years.
We will be expanding upon our focus on inquiry based
learning and curriculum planning. The school will also
target authentic learning opportunities wherever they
can be integrated with curricula.
The CSS is grateful to the Government of Alberta for
its continued support of Charter Schools. Alberta is a
world leader in primary education because of the choice
available in our public education system. The Calgary
Science School is proud to be part of that choice and
will continue to share our innovation beyond the walls
of the school.
Dave Robinson,
Board Chair
