Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Edgemont is designed to entertain its core teen audience and also to inform and educate its viewers about issues that arise in school and at home. The storylines focus on social and emotional challenges faced by all secondary school students, from forming and maintaining family, friendship and romantic relationships, to ethical choices and more. The objective of the series is to demonstrate models of behavior for teen viewers, allowing them to consider choices that they themselves may face; to witness the potential outcomes of these choices and gain positive tools that they can use to resolve issues and conflicts in a constructive way. School work is taken seriously as depicted through characters studying in the library, receiving or discussing grades or doing homework at home. Each episode advances a few specific storylines based on particular social and emotional issues and takes them to a new conclusion. Characters act out behaviours that bring these issues to the forefront and they solve problems generally without intervention by adults, but through communication with peers and direct action, which leads to a better understanding of the situation and each other. At the same time the show highlights the fact that actions do lead to consequences and the outcomes provide a life lesson that is plainly evident, but conveyed to the viewer in a natural way.
