Even though most of our schools offer a regular program, no two are quite the same. All schools teach according to Alberta Education’s mandated curriculum, however a school’s focus, optional courses and school activities are as unique as every school.

Middle years learning refers to education offered to students between the ages of 10-15. These years are critical in keeping our students on the path to high school completion and their career futures. Keys for student success include: participating in hands-on, purposeful and relevant learning; creating positive relationships with peers, teachers and other adults; and being actively involved in the community and feeling supported by family, businesses and other organizations that surround them.
Learn more about our students in their middle years, including how their learning will change and how you can support your child, visit the CBE website.
For Grades 5 to 9 at the CBE, we offer Career & Technology Foundations (CTF). This is an inquiry-based, hands-on program that focuses on essential skills common to occupational areas, and our students personalize their learning based on their interests and passions.
As a CBE student, you may choose to take a dual credit program as part of your high school learning plan. Dual credit programs allow you to:
As a dual credit student, you would be concurrently enrolled in both a post-secondary institution and your high school. You would earn credits towards both a high school diploma and a post-secondary degree or diploma.
Application packages and program details will be posted on:

Career and Technology education provides CBE students with dynamic, personalized learning opportunities that support them to transition into education, training and work. It is a part of the Alberta Programs of Study and is offered in every school, every day and for every student.
Career and Technology Studies (CTS) is a complementary program for high school students. Students develop career and technology-related skills while enhancing employability competencies. Here is an overview of CTS pathways and Knowledge and Employability (K&E) Occupational Courses and information on specialized facilities.
The Career & Technology Centre (CTC) is a hub for CTS learning for students registered in CBE high schools across Calgary. Students who attend the CTC will take courses at their designated high schools. Still, they will also access the CTC to enhance their learning through credentialed, dual credit or pre-placement programs for specific periods.
