News item: New provincial curriculum in the 2025–26 school year

In September 2025, Kindergarten to Grade 3 students will learn new provincial curriculum in social studies.

The province is also giving school divisions the option to field test new draft curriculum in Grades 7 to 9 for:

  • mathematics
  • social studies
  • physical education and wellness
  • career education and financial literacy

The decision to field test new draft curriculum will be up to individual teachers.

The Government of Alberta determines the new curriculum content and timelines for implementation. New curriculum is being developed and introduced in schools over a number of years.

Preparing staff for success

We will continue to focus on preparing staff and setting students up for success in September. Educators will have professional learning opportunities throughout the school year, and access to teaching and learning resources to support new curriculum implementation.

More information

Families are encouraged to visit Alberta Education and Childcare’s curriculum page to learn more about what is being implemented in the upcoming school year.

The full provincial curriculum is available on Alberta Education and Childcare’s New LearnAlberta site.
