The Kindergarten to Grade 12 Physical Education program's aim is to enable individuals to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to lead an active, healthy lifestyle.
K–12 Wellness-related Programs of Study Revisions
To help achieve improved learning and wellness outcomes for Alberta students, Alberta Education has been examining its programs and policies related to wellness, which include Kindergarten to Grade 9 Health and Life Skills, Kindergarten to Grade 12 Physical Education (PE), Career and Life Management (CALM) and wellness-associated supports.
As part of the revision process, Alberta Education has developed the Framework for Kindergarten to Grade 12 Wellness Education. The purpose of this framework is to describe the fundamental concepts and inherent values of K–12 wellness education and to provide guidance to the future development and implementation of K–12 wellness programs of study in Alberta. The framework is holistic, student-centered and meets the needs and priorities of Alberta students living and learning in the 21st century.
