The CBE is committed to ensuring a safe, respectful and equitable learning environment. Every student should have the opportunity to succeed personally and academically regardless of background, identity or personal circumstances. This work ensures that the CBE’s mission remains responsive and meaningful for all students:
Each student, in keeping with their individual abilities and gifts, will complete high school with a foundation of learning necessary to thrive in life, work, and continued learning.
CBE’s system practices align with Alberta’s
Education Act, provincial curriculum, and the Teaching and Leadership Quality Standards. This work, centred on equity, inclusion and student well-being, is ongoing and continues to evolve through sustained engagement and reflection. CBE remains grounded in the core responsibilities of public education and the conditions necessary for student success. Our approach continues to be guided by foundational values:
- Students come first
- Learning is our central purpose
- Public education serves the common good
Schools gather ongoing feedback from students, parents and staff. Their perspectives deepen understanding, recognize barriers, and inform evidence-based teaching and learning practices.
Across all schools and workplaces, the CBE remains committed to safe, respectful, and inclusive environments, where harassment and discrimination are not tolerated and learning experiences are designed to encourage diverse student perspectives.
