As the province continues to grow, Alberta's government is investing in new schools and student spaces to meet that growth and provide the learning spaces students need for success. If passed, Budget 2024 would advance 43 priority school projects, including 28 new schools, 10 replacement schools and five modernizations. When complete, these projects will create about 35,000 new and modernized spaces for Alberta students to learn, grow, and meet their full potential.
"Alberta is growing and we are investing significantly in education to meet that growth. Communities across the province will be seeing new and modernized schools for their students, providing them the best places to learn. I am looking forward to seeing all the schools we're investing in move forward and open in the years to come."
Danielle Smith, Premier
With an additional 43 projects included in this year's budget, the government is funding a total of 98 school projects in various stages across the province.
As part of the $2.1 billion three-year capital investment, $103 million over three years will be used to supply modular classrooms to quickly increase classroom spaces in schools facing significant capacity challenges. Collegiate schools and public charter schools will be supported by a commitment of $123 million over three years, as Alberta's government continues expand career education and support a full range of school choices for students and families.
