Our Programs

At S. Bruce Smith School, we offer all students the full complement of core classes as outlined by the Alberta Provincial Curriculum, as well as French as a second language.  We are an inclusive learning community that inspires and enables all students to achieve success in learning. Our staff is committed to adapting curriculum to meet the varying needs of students and providing the support necessary for their success.

Academic Enrichment Program

S. Bruce Smith School offers the Academic Enrichment Program for grades 7 to 9.  These academically minded students challenge themselves to develop the skills, habits of mind, and concepts they need to continue in an enriched academic program at the high school level should they choose. Specifically, the Academic Enrichment Program provides a rigorous academic experience for students who are driven to learn and seek challenges. Students who choose this program should be students who already are motivated to achieve, enjoy challenges and demonstrate an ability to analyze information critically. As well, students interested in this program must be recommended to the program by their current school and teacher in consultation with their parents.

Strategies

Strategies programming supports students with average or higher cognitive ability who have learning disabilities demonstrated by significant delays in academic areas.  Learning disabilities are complex and can vary from person to person, requiring flexible instruction that meets each student’s unique needs.  The goals of Strategies programming are to improve academic skills and develop strategies to manage learning challenges with the goal of returning to regular programming as soon as possible
