Our Administration, staff and Board of Directors are committed to aligning our all-girls learning methodology to the standard Alberta Education curriculum. We are consistently applying research findings about girls and their learning to the structure of our program. This includes but isn’t limited to:

• Exploring the historical impacts of societal change and innovation on women and girls
  
• Examining and understanding current portrayals of girls and women in society (including media representation of girls and women)
• Discussing and acknowledging the impact of these portrayals

CGCS continues to review our methods to ensure they are relevant and appropriate. We strive to create an environment that creates space for girls to find their voice, learn to navigate social issues, develop greater aspirations for themselves and society, and celebrate the role of women from past to present.

OUR LEARNING MODEL:

Inquiry at the Core of CGCS

Inquiry based learning involves the study of a question, issue, problem, or idea. It allows students to build and test new knowledge. Compared to some traditional teaching methods where students may only be required to memorize facts, Inquiry based learning aims to engage students more fully, involve students in a deeper level of understanding, and make learning more fun. Students taught using Inquiry based learning are also better prepared for the real-world work environment.
