Curriculum

New provincial curriculum 

Alberta Education is updating the K–12 province-wide curriculum. The province's curriculum renewal focuses on six subject areas: English Language Arts and Literature, French Language Arts and Literature, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Fine Arts (dance, music, drama, visual arts), and Physical Education and Wellness.

2024–25 school year

In September 2024, the new provincial curriculum in Grades 4 to 6 will be implemented across Edmonton Public Schools and all Alberta school authorities in the following subjects:

• Science
• French Immersion Language Arts and Literature
• French first language and literature (Francophone school divisions only)

PILOTING DRAFT CURRICULUM

Alberta Education also gave school divisions the option to pilot draft curriculum in social studies (K–6). At Edmonton Public Schools, a number of teachers have opted to pilot draft curriculum in the 2024–25 school year.
