Our Programs
Regular Program at the CBE
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.

A message from Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission
The Guiding Principle of Two-Eyed Seeing
“Etuaptmumk is the Mi'kmaw word for Two-Eyed Seeing. We often explain Etuaptmumk - Two-Eyed Seeing by saying it refers to learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing, and from the other eye with the strengths of Western knowledges and ways of knowing ... and learning to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all.” (Two-Eyed Seeing.
