Fast tracking 4 school projects.

The Alberta government has announced it is accelerating four previously announced school projects to meet population growth demands.

In Calgary, two francophone schools in the city’s north are moving from the planning to the design phase, and a public charter school in Quarry Park is advancing from design to construction, a release reads. In St. Albert, a new Kindergarten to Grade 9 public school in the Chérot neighbourhood is now approved to move into the design phase.

The projects are part of the School Construction Accelerator Program, which is investing $8.6 billion to build and renovate more than 130 schools across the province and speeding up the school construction process. This is the fifth batch of school accelerations since the creation of the program in 2024.

Nine new or modernized schools have opened to students, since the program’s inception, adding or updating almost 6,000 student spaces across Alberta, the release adds.

More than 120 school projects are currently underway across the province.
