OLD SCONA ACADEMIC INFORMATION GUIDE V σV “ Always to excel ”ACADEMIC FOCUSOld Scona Academic (OSA) was established as an academic alternative high school in 1976 by the Board of Trustees of Edmonton Public Schools. The school’s purpose is to provide academically motivated students who have demonstrated success and potential for growth with an opportunity to pursue a program of studies that challenges and enriches their learning experiences. As such, the educational community of Old Scona Academic is committed to:
Old Scona strives to reach these commitments by fostering a dedicated and caring atmosphere. Students and staff respect and practice the values of cooperation, sharing, tolerance and achievement to create an environment that provides stimulation and generates a desire for further learning. 
HISTORY “When Old Scona Academic opened in 1908…it became one of the first high schools in Alberta. It was known as Strathcona Collegiate Institute and was described as the most modern up-to-date building of its kind in Alberta….It proved that Strathcona was a city of substance, attainment and a place with a great and proud future…When Edmonton absorbed the Strathcona School District in 1912 one caution was raised—The continuance of the Strathcona Collegiate Institute as such should be assured. In excellence of work, gauged by examination results, it is excelled by no school in the province.” Alberta History. Old Scona was designated a Provincial Historic Resource Site by the province in September 2008. LOCATIONOld Scona Academic is located in the heart of the vibrant Old Strathcona community. It is readily accessible by Edmonton Transit Services. Our close proximity to the extensive library and research facilities at the University of Alberta allows students easy access to a wealth of information and learning opportunities. SMALL SCHOOLOld Scona Academic’s small size offers students unique, challenging and rewarding opportunities to demonstrate their character attributes and their leadership abilities. Because of our small size, students are able to develop supportive and cooperative inter-personal relationships and never feel lost in the crowd. “Students helping students” is a way of life at Old Scona Academic, and this learning network stays intact into post-secondary life. ATMOSPHEREOld Scona Academic provides an atmosphere of cooperation, sharing, tolerance and achievement. Students quickly realize that their teachers and fellow students provide stimulation and motivation for learning and that it is their responsibility to reciprocate within the teaching-learning equation. Students are challenged to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary in the pursuit of lifelong learning to appreciate the strength that emerges from within the school’s diversity and to recognize the impact of volunteerism in our community. POST-SECONDARY PREPARATION Old Scona Academic is often referred to as a university prep school. A high percentage of our graduates receive advance placement at universities across Canada and find that after experiencing the challenging academic environment at Old Scona, their transition to post-secondary studies is seamless. Old Scona graduates attribute their successful post-secondary adjustment to the following: high expectations in high school, the development of a thorough academic foundation, a peer network and the self confidence gained from having learned solid organizational and time management skills.

We accomplish this through student-led initiatives such as bake sales and bottle drives that raise funds for Edmonton's Brain Care Centre, awareness events with recuperating brain injury guest speakers, and the provision of volunteer opportunities for students to directly interact with patients. Our inspiration stems from the desire to protect the most vital part of the human body: the human mind.

International Baccalaureate Organization Organization Mission Statement The educational philosophy of the organization is found in its mission statement: The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment. These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. IB Curriculum and Programme Information The IB diploma programme is designed as an academically challenging and balanced programme of education with final examinations that prepares students for success at university and life beyond. The programme is normally taught over two years (grades 11 and 12) and has gained recognition and respect from the world’s leading universities. The curriculum is divided into six academic areas surrounding the three core requirements. 
For additional, in-depth information related to the International Baccalaureate program, refer to www.ibo.org IBO Diploma Information at Old Scona Academic Over the course of the two-year programme, students pursing an IB diploma at Old Scona will:
At Old Scona Academic the following subjects are taught at the Higher Level:
At Old Scona Academic, the following subjects are taught at the Standard Level:
It is also possible to take Fine Arts (Music, Drama or Art) or Computer Technology at the Standard Level. Second Language instruction on-line is available for students who do not wish to take French, however, the cost of the on-line program is at the full expense of the student. All on-line language instruction is ab initio. The language ab initio course is a language acquisition course for students with little or no experience in the language. The staff at Old Scona Academic believes that language acquisition is best learned in a classroom environment, but we respect that students may want to challenge languages other than French. Students interested in on-line language courses should speak to an IB Coordinator.   
CREATIVITY, ACTION, SERVICE [CAS]: Creativity, action, service is fundamental to the diploma experience as it takes seriously the importance of life outside the world of scholarship. This International Baccalaureate goal of educating the whole person and fostering active citizenry comes alive in an immediate way when students reach beyond themselves and their books. Students are expected to be involved in CAS activities for the equivalent of at least two to three hours per week throughout the school year in grades 11 and 12. Although some of the CAS requirements can be met through extracurricular activities at school, it is preferred that all full diploma candidates become involved with the community at large. Through this participation students come to realize how they can become assets to their community and contribute to the quality of life we experience. At the beginning of grade 11, students develop personal goals for CAS with their CAS advisor and then provide individualized evidence of personal reflection and goal achievement. THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE [TOK]: Diploma candidates are encouraged to reflect on all aspects of their work and are expected to have informed discussions about the nature and purposes and the strengths and limitations of particular knowledge systems. Emphasis is placed on the role of language and thought and on the development of students’ critical thinking skills. Students are encouraged to consider how they know what they know and to develop habits of reflection, which they bring to each subject, resulting in a deeper intellectual experience. Theory of Knowledge is truly unique to the International Baccalaureate Program. TOK must be taken in both grade 11 and grade 12. EXTENDED ESSAY [EE]: Diploma candidates are required to undertake original research and write an extended essay of some 4000 words in one of over sixty (60) subjects available in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. Students may deepen their program of study by researching and writing on a topic in one of their courses or add to the breadth of their academic experience by electing to write in a subject not included in their diploma program. These extended essays are assessed according to both general and subject specific criteria with the general criteria being applied to the appropriateness of the research question and the specific criteria applied to the manageability of the topic within the context of the subject. Students pursuing the full IB diploma must submit two proposals in May of their grade 11 year to be confirmed for an EE advisor in the fall. Students will work with an advisor on the thesis statement for the EE and are expected to research and prepare a first draft in the summer prior to grade 12. More in-depth information will be provided to students and parents in the spring of their grade 10 year when we host an evening information session.

Old Scona, which opened in 1908, is designated as a provincial heritage site and an International Baccalaureate School. Old Scona has 360 students. The 120 students who enter Old Scona each year are chosen from set criteria. All Grade 10 students are in a pre-IB program. The atmosphere of the school fosters close ties among students. Alumni consistently comment on the thorough preparation they have received for their post-secondary challenges. The combined Alberta Education and International Baccalaureate program challenges and prepares students for any post-secondary institution. With 360 students attending the school, it helps to foster a close relationship between the staff and students. It also fosters collaborative work among the students and allows them to develop close friendships. What are the criteria for selecting students entering Grade 10? Students are ranked according to the following criteria:
Students are admitted on a merit basis, starting from the highest aggregated score and working downward until the capacity of 120 students is attained. Where do I write the standardized entrance examination? Grade 9 (or 10 students) must pre-register to write the entrance exam by contacting the school at either 780 433 0627 or oldscona@epsb.ca The exam will be administered at Old Scona. What if I don’t think I scored well on the entrance exam? Students should be aware that the results of the entrance exam will not be released and remain confidential. The entrance exam is only one portion of the admission process and is weighted less than your school-awarded grades. Students must complete all three components of the registration process to be considered for admission in September. Does Old Scona accept everyone who meets the basic criteria automatically? No. Old Scona can only accept the top-ranked 120 students based on our requirements. Each year we receive more than three times as many applicants as we have room for. Is it true that high schools mark harder than junior high schools? In general, Grade 10 students’ marks decline from junior high; no matter what high school students attend. Many students have had minimal experience with written response questions, critical analysis, and essays. It takes time to learn these skills. By Grade 12, students at Old Scona usually have exceptional grades and take second place to no one. How much homework do Old Scona students have? It varies from subject to subject. Students can expect a minimum of two hours of homework/study time every night. Is technology a focus at Old Scona? Old Scona is dedicated to developing the skills necessary for success tomorrow and technology is one of those skills. Our school is a wireless environment where students are encouraged to bring their own laptop for use in the classroom. All of our classrooms are outfitted with LCD projectors and Smartboards to provide the opportunity for an interactive technological learning environment. Does Old Scona have discipline problems? Very few; the staff works very hard to create an atmosphere in which the students can relate well to each other and are engaged in their studies. Do you offer any special field trips? Old Scona has offered various special field trips such as: spring break field trip to an international destination, a marine study to Vancouver Island, or a skiing/snowboarding weekend to the mountains. In previous years at spring break, the students have gone to the Galapagos Island, Egypt, Italy, Greece, France, and Spain. Can Old Scona students participate in Science Fair? Not only do Old Scona students participate in Science Fair, but they can also present projects in the Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge and take part in the Science Olympics. Old Scona students also participate in many national science exams, including: the Chemical Institute of Canada Chemistry Exam, the Michael Smith Science Challenge, and the National Biology Exam. Depending on student interest, it is also possible to have the opportunity to write the Canadian Association of Physicists Exam, the Da Vinci Exam as well as the Sir Isaac Newton Exam. Does Old Scona participate in Math contests? Yes. Old Scona has a vibrant program of math contests, where students regularly participate in the CNML series, CAYLEY, FERMAT, the Alberta High School Math Competition and the Canadian Open Math Challenge. Do you have any sports teams at Old Scona? Old Scona has several men’s and women’s athletic teams: soccer, basketball, volleyball, handball, golf, cross country running, badminton, curling, swimming and track & field.   
Subject-Specific Questions My child took Science 10 in junior high school. Does he/she have to take it again? Old Scona’s Science 10 program is an enriched course with many student-performed laboratory investigations. The International Baccalaureate program has a strong emphasis on student laboratory work, which is assessed yearly by external moderation of student portfolios. The students who took Science 10 elsewhere may be missing aspects of Biology and Chemistry that are required for their IB courses. However, they do not have to take the course again. All students pursuing IB science credits may go on to take the three credit Biology 35 IB, Physics 35 IB and Chemistry 35 IB courses, which have been locally developed to enhance our IB program. Students who have successfully completed Science 10 in junior high school may enrol in Chemistry 20 IB and Chemistry 35 IB.
After completing Science 10, students can select a combination of Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics. Students seeking post-secondary entrance are encouraged to select two of the science classes; some students will try to schedule all three sciences. In order to earn an IB Full Diploma, students must take Biology and/or Physics as they are part of the four Higher Level subjects offered at Old Scona. I took Math 10 Common in junior high school. Which Math course do I take in Grade 10? All grade 10 students will be scheduled in Math 10C and Math 20-1. Students who have completed Math 10C previously will be required to complete an Old Scona Math Assessment in the second week of September. The results of that assessment will provide direction as to whether the student should consider retaking Math 10C at Old Scona. Retaking Math 10C at Old Scona will allow the student the opportunity to refine their skills and receive the enriched curriculum that our school provides. The student transcript will only show the course once and the grade will be the highest grade earned. Should a student choose not to retake the course they would receive a spare during the first semester and then rejoin the course in the second semester for Math 20-1 What essential skills are students expected to bring from their English Language Arts experiences in junior high school? Students should have basic writing skills—correct sentence structure, paragraphing skills, knowledge about essay structure, and knowledge of grammar, phrases, and clauses. Students should have read and studied the genres (forms) of literature: short stories, novels, poetry and drama and should know various literary terms (e.g.) symbol, irony and theme. A good foundation in these areas will assist as students expand their skills of literary analysis of short stories, novels, poetry, film, drama and essays in English Language Arts 10 – 1. I have not taken French in junior high school. Can I still apply to Old Scona? Yes. As a requirement for the IB Diploma all students must take a second language. At Old Scona the second language instruction is French. Successful applicants who have not taken French will be expected to enrol in French 10 (3 year) during the summer session to assist in preparation for the French 10 (9 year). Students may wish to arrange for a French tutor to provide additional support in the program. Students should be aware that not taking French in grade 9 will not adversely affect their application in anyway. Are there other second language classes I can take at Old Scona? The only second language that we teach is French, however, students interested in taking another course can enrol in on-line programming in the areas of Spanish* and Mandarin* through an independent agency authorized by IBO. Students should be aware that the program is not administered by the school, but a private company so students are required to pay the fees directly to the provider, currently $1800 US over two years. Students interested in pursuing the second language on-line course should contact the school’s IB Coordinator directly. *Note: on-line language courses are for beginners only (see page 6).
All grade 10 students are registered in FSL 10 – 9Y. Our French teachers will assess and evaluate the students individually in September to determine their appropriate French placement level. What options do you have in your school? Old Scona offers Art, Choral, Band Drama, Musical Theatre, Outdoor Education, Personal Psychology, Team Leadership and Financial Management programs as well as a number of computer options and Speech and Debate. These programs provide students with a well-rounded education. What Fine Arts courses do you offer? Old Scona offers many options: Art 10/20/30, Instrumental Music 10/20/30, Choral Music 10/20/30, Drama 10/20/30 and Musical Theatre 15/25/35. Students in Grade 11 can take regular Art, Music, Musical Theatre, and Drama courses as well as IB Music and IB Drama. Can students take music/drama if they are enrolled in a full IB diploma program? We try to provide scheduling options that allow students to access Fine Arts courses throughout the three years of senior high school. However, we cannot guarantee this from year to year. Does Old Scona supply musical instruments for band class? Yes. Old Scona has rental instruments. The nominal EPS rental fee of $100.00 is charged. Does OSA have performing groups?
