Phoenix is a publicly accredited, nonprofit, secular, private Alberta school that specializes in personalized learning. We offer the following three program choices: 1) Kindergarten (475 hours of instruction, onsite and field trips), 2) SchoolDirected (created by a certificated teacher, follows the Alberta Programs of Study, requires regular contact and submissions) and 3) Home Education (Parentdesigned, directed but supervised by Phoenix) for students K12.
This form of education requires a significant commitment from parents. Students must have an engaged adult who is available daily to assist with instruction, transportation and coordination.
Further, we are not a designated special needs school.
Finally, we are a secular school and celebrate a variety of commercial holidays! We respect diversity and parents’ right to choice!
Our mission is to provide unique learning opportunities for families so that each young person may develop into a life-long learner and active responsible global citizen.
We offer hundreds of great classes each year. Classes are open to all families whether they are registered with Phoenix as their school authority or not. These classes should be considered resources, just like a book or CD, and may not cover all the Alberta Programs of Study Learning Outcomes in any one class.
Each educational program is customized to suit your child's specific needs, learning styles and the 21st century
environment!
WE ARE OPEN TO ALL!

However, if your student is coded, enrolled in a schooldirected program, and you agree to participate in the parameters of our annual special needs project, additional supports may be available, subject to meeting the funding allocation criteria.

(9501000 per year) Services for noncoded, schooldirected students may be provided by Phoenix at the recommendation of a Learning Coach.* These are costs incurred by Phoenix for these services when we provide an education program to students. In accordance to the the government funding manual, students enrolled in a home education, online or blended program according to the funding manual do not qualify for supports. However, parents can still access these valuable services for a fee or if possible, for no charge through through the RCSD.

STAYING SAFE @PHOENIX
Allergies Please note: We are not an allergenfree zone! If your student has a severe allergy, you are required to stay onsite and carry your student’s epipen at all times. If your student is older and you plan to drop them off, then they must be able to selfadminister! Also we ask that you remind instructors of your student’s allergies as many of our classes may include food items. We will try to let you know in advance what foods may be used but we ask you bring appropriate substitutes as required.
If there is a problem in a class . . . The instructor will make your student aware of the problem or issue and indicate what they should be doing differently. They will be given one additional warning.
After that, your assistance will be required. Your student may continue to participate in the class under your supervision if appropriate. If you are not onsite, you will be called and expected to return to the centre immediately to assist your student. (Remember to sign out if you go offsite!)
If the behavior issue continues, you will be asked to remove your student from the class. (Classes are not mandatory and we will not tolerate rude, disrespectful or unmanageable behavior.) If there is a persistent problem, your Learning Coach or the Principal will help you implement strategies to help correct the behavior. Once corrected, your student may attend classes again at that time if appropriate.
In the Event of a Fire or Emergency There are current fire extinguishers located throughout the building. Most rooms have at least one. We do not do schoolwide fire drills but rather our fire procedure is reviewed with students each and every class as students have a varied schedules and not everyone is here at the same time. Your student knows they are to stay with their instructor, follow them out to the muster point and to wait for you there where you will be required to sign your student out. Parents: If you are asked to leave the building in the event of a fire or emergency, please go quickly to the nearest exit. These are marked on maps throughout the building. Take the children who are in your direct supervision and go outside at the muster point. We will meet you there. Muster point: Is the big RED Phoenix sign. We will ask you to initial the class list to release your student into your care.
YOU ARE A PART OF OUR SAFETY PLAN! If you see a hazard, a stranger or are worried about something, please come and tell us
immediately!

Description: Our understanding of the world is based largely on what we see both directly and aided by optical devices that improve and extend our vision. Such tools as microscopes and telescopes have helped extend knowledge in a variety of scientific fields, from the study of cells, to the study of stars, to the study of light itself. In learning about light, students investigate its interactions with different materials and interpret its behaviour using a geometric ray model. Students then use their understanding of light to interpret a variety of lightbased technologies and speculate about future technologies.
