There will be no impact to elective courses for students in gr. 9 and 10.  

Edge students take an additional fitness credit in grade 9 and 10, while fulfilling all other course requirements!

Additional credits will be offered during a “5^th period”, 7-8am for the duration of the school year 2 – 3 times per week.  The Personal Fitness course is geared toward strength and athletic development while making adjustments to individual needs.

At the end of grade 9 EDGE students will have 9 credits rather than the traditional 8 credits.  By the end of grade 10 EDGE students will have a total of 18 credits rather than the traditional 16 credits.

In EDGE we use VOLT Athletics skeleton programming and push them to student-athlete phones.  The grade 9 and 10 student-athlete follows the VOLT All-Around Athlete Program Level 1 & 2. The programs are adjusted by teachers using their Kinesiology and Personal Training expertise. Training requires student-athletes to be prepared, and consistently execute strength and conditioning plans. Since these are daily expectations, these courses require participating students to be:

• self-directed
• highly motivated
• dedicated to fitness
• receptive to a holistic training approach
• receptive to constructive feedback.

Additionally, these courses require specific expectations and assignments to be completed independently and often virtually, outside of class time.

If you are interested in applying for a position in these programs, please be sure to complete the entire process and include all requirements for this application. Submitting a complete application is the responsibility of you, the applicant. Incomplete applications or applications submitted after the deadline, will not be accepted and student applicants will therefore forfeit their request to be considered for these courses.

At the conclusion of grade 10, students will have earned 18 credits, rather than 16 credits in a traditional setting, allowing for more flexibility in senior grades in terms of course selection.

IDC4U1- Peak Performance- Harnessing the Power of the Mind, Body and Sport

Whether it’s on the playing surface, in the classroom, or in everyday life, every student can improve their performance. This course provides knowledge and tools so students can develop an individualized plan for managing their performance using the Plus 4…  approach that focuses on sleep, nutrition, activity, and mindset. Students will build a solid understanding of how these four interconnected pillars contribute to wellbeing and will be challenged to pursue any thread(s) throughout the course to improve their own performance. The course will combine a variety of subject areas from Biology, Psychology, Sociology, and Fitness and combine hands on learning with leading edge research and discovery. The culminating activity will be a personalized self-management plan that is backed by sound scientific research and aimed at having a positive impact on the individual’s performance in an area they wish to pursue. The course is fluid in nature and will develop as the world’s understanding of each of the four pillars grows.
