Overview
The draft kindergarten to grade 6 (K to 6) curriculum was released to the public on March 29, 2021 for review. Since then we have been listening to all feedback through a transparent curriculum development and review process.
With this insight, we are updating all K to 6 subjects for piloting and implementation in phases, beginning in the 2022-23 school year. We continue to seek feedback on updated curriculum that will be piloted.
