Notice
The Alberta Education website is changing as part of a project to upgrade all Government of Alberta web content and centralize content on Alberta.ca.
Our homepage was updated with a new look and feel on December 20, 2018. The remaining webpages and content will transition to Alberta.ca over the next few months. Information will be posted to help guide you to updated content during and after this transition.
To access extranet applications on Alberta Education’s new home page, click the green “Sign in” button on the top right of the new landing page.
We thank you for your patience as we proceed with these improvements.

International Languages
Alberta Education has provincial programs of study in eight International Languages for high school: Chinese, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Punjabi, Spanish and Ukrainian.
International Languages programs include:
- Bilingual programs, where in addition to Languages Arts (Kindergarten to Grade 12), the language is used for instruction in other courses up to a total of 50% of the school day, and
- Language and Culture courses, where the language is studied to develop communication and intercultural and strategic skills, and to build an appreciation for the culture.
High School Language and Culture programs have the following entry points:
- Kindergarten/Grade 1 (Twelve-year Language and Culture Programs),
- Grade 4 (Nine-year Language and Culture Programs),
- Grade 7 (Six-year Language and Culture Programs), and
- Grade 10 (Three-year Language and Culture Programs).
School authorities determine which language programs to offer, based on their resources and community needs. If a language is not available as a provincial program, school authorities can acquire or develop a locally-developed course, according to the process outlined in the Guide to Education (please see Related Content).
