Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Edgemont is an award-winning television series originally produced by Canada's public broadcaster, CBC, for teenage viewers. Each 30-minute episode portrays the everyday lives of students of the AC McKinley Secondary School in the fictitious suburban town of Edgemont. The Edgemont series is designed to entertain its youth audience and also to inform and educate these viewers about issues that arise in school and at home. Storylines focus on the social and emotional challenges that every secondary school student faces, from forming and maintaining friendships and romantic attachments, to ethical and moral choices and family relationships. The programs illustrate the possible consequences of choices that these viewers may face, and these outcomes provide "life lessons" that are shown plainly to the teen audience. Edgemont further benefits its viewers by opening dialogue with peers and potentially also parents and educators regarding the topics portrayed in the series. Edgemont also touches on significant societal issues and can complement classroom discussions on these topics. These issues range from considerations of diversity, racism and sexual identity, to divorce, teen pregnancy, bullying and alcohol and substance abuse.
