A complete listing of all ministry curricula is contained in the Education Program Guide Order, M333/99 (PDF, 67KB). The following chart provides an update of curricula to this order, with the curricula documents that are currently in the process of being finalized and/or are to be ready for implementation. Other curricula are status quo.
The Required Areas of Study in an Educational Program Order, M165/08 (PDF, 35KB), lists the required areas of study in an educational program that BC students in each of the grades from Kindergarten to Grade 12 are required to study.

Full implementation refers to curricula that must be used and that have replaced the former/older versions (i.e. former/older versions are no longer valid), or curricula that is new and available for use.
