Quotes from Parent Advocates

"Edge helped our daughter with her work ethic and time management skills. Both Edge and our family played big roles in her receiving a scholarship at a post-secondary school in the US."

"The training my daughter receives at Edge is having a powerful impact on her overall performance. I've seen a marked improvement. She's been able to compete successfully at the local, national and even international level."

How do we define success for The Edge students?

Balancing athletics and academics helps our students translate success from one area into another. Through that process, they gain confidence. We further their personal growth by incorporating character development into our educational experience.  Indeed, character-building is woven into our very fabric. Edge School's innovative commitment to this balanced three-sphere philosophy - academics, athletics and character development - ensures graduates are equipped to excel in all areas. We graduate young men and women fully prepared to take on the next stage in their lives - whether that stage be post-secondary studies, the work world or the sports world from the Western Hockey league, the Alberta Junior Hockey League to a professional dance troupe and all points in between.  We are proud of the fact that 100% of our Grade 12 classes graduate, 85% of our grads move on to colleges and universities across North America and 40% of them do so with scholarships earned through academic and athletic merit!

What makes our school good and how do we know?

We are a unique learning community, a place for children in Grades 6-12 to pursue academic excellence while striving to reach their full athletic potential. Edge values your passion for sport(s) and celebrates that passion in the classroom and in character-building opportunities. We accommodate the training requirements of a wide range of sports and disciplines, and offer high performance training in dance, golf, hockey and soccer as well as providing busy student-athletes in sports such as luge, equestrian, skiing, figure skating, swimming, tennis, rugby, gymnastics and core training, the opportunity to craft a flexible schedule which meets all their needs. We know how athletes think and learn. We know how young people absorb information and concepts. We match teaching strategies with learning strategies. With a student/faculty ratio of 7:1 and small class sizes, our students receive the instruction and feedback they need to truly excel. We incorporate online learning and supported independent studies into our program where appropriate. Edge School students consistently excel in provincial and post-secondary entrance exams, and are welcomed by some of North America's most prestigious post-secondary institutions.
