Rundle Studio

Grade 7-12 Division

Through our Pathways to Learning program, the Studio encourages students to strive for success in academics, build solid character, and engage in co-curricular activities. Although we want students to achieve the highest level of academics, we believe that focusing on character development is paramount.

Through social interactions, learning experiences, and co-curricular activities, students continuously develop their character and self-confidence. The Studio delivers curriculum from Alberta Education at grade level with no modifications.

How Our Online School Works

The lead teacher (LT) delivers curricular content using clear, direct instruction to all students in the grade. After the lesson, students move to small breakout groups where the teacher advisor (TA) consolidates the learning through highly dynamic, engaging, and personalized activities.

While in TA groups, students ask questions, interact with each other, collaborate on activities, and demonstrate their understanding of the day’s material. Once the lesson is complete, the TA connects with the LT to review student progress and prepare for the next lesson based on the results.
