Curriculum
In Alberta, curriculum or Programs of Study are determined by Alberta Education & Childcare. The curriculum identifies what students are expected to learn and do in all subjects from kindergarten to Grade 12. You can find the K – 6 Curriculum and the current
Gr. 7 – 12 Programs of Study on the Alberta Education website.
The CBE does not decide what is taught in its schools, however CBE teachers decide how the curriculum is taught in their classrooms.
