Calgary Schools Approve 40 New Courses

Calgary’s Catholic school district just approved 40 new and updated courses — from astronomy and workplace skills to hands-on Indigenous learning like Tipi Making and Beading — designed to give students more pathways as they grow. These courses, required by Alberta Education and approved for four-year terms (or less if curriculum shifts are coming), will launch in 2026-27, including five focused on adult readiness like financial literacy and job prep. Renewed favorites like Musical Theatre Performance — co-developed with the Calgary Board of Education — will return to multiple high schools. It’s a bold step toward diverse, relevant, and future-ready education for all students. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
