Area III celebrates the most culturally diverse population in the city.
Serving 23 communities in northeast/southeast Calgary, Area III is bounded
by Deerfoot and Barlow Trails to the west, by 144 Avenue to the north,
by the city limits to the east, and by 50 Avenue to the south. Area III
is comprised of 27 Elementary Schools, 1 Elementary/Junior High School,
1 Middle School, 8 Junior High Schools, and 3 Senior High Schools, offering
an array of programs to meet the variable needs and interests of its students.
Consistent with other Areas in the Calgary Board of Education, Area III
enhances Alberta Education’s required programming by offering choices
and alternatives within that mandate. Area III schools offer Programs
of Choice, reflecting the interests and needs of the school community
as well as Special Education Programs designed to address the specific
educational requirements of students with special needs. Area III is strongly
committed to the provision of resources to support and direct early literacy,
the learning of English as a Second Language (ESL), and the enhancement
of cross-cultural understanding. Area III collaborates with numerous external
agencies to offer many enriching opportunities for students and families.
