2015 Community Report

The 2015 Community Report has been posted to the CBE website. It examines our expectations for student success and our progress in achieving those goals, as well as how we spent public resources to support each student in 2013-14.

We are very proud of our students and the outstanding results they continue to achieve. They continue to demonstrate strong academic results, and are achieving success as active, informed and positively contributing young citizens.

We know they are making progress in setting goals, showing initiative and taking risks, as well as doing what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular to do so.

We invite you to review this report to learn more about how we are supporting student success at the Calgary Board of Education.
