Update on the Anglais Curriculum (September 2025)

The Bureau de l’éducation française is currently renewing the Grade 4 to 8 Anglais curriculum.

During the 2025-2026 school year, the Bureau de l’éducation française will establish a consultation committee for the Grade 4 to 8 Anglais curriculum. This consultation committee will:

  • evaluate and contribute to the development of new learning outcomes, as well as progressions in the form of observable behaviors, that meet the needs of each student;
  • harmonize learning outcomes with those in the Français curriculum to make language learning and teaching more fluid and effective;
  • explore linguistic transfers between French, English, and other languages spoken by Manitoba students within the French Program;
  • identify evidence-based practices and resources for language and literacy planning, instruction, and assessment.

In addition, the new Anglais curriculum will be aligned with the Guiding Principles for a Comprehensive Approach to Reading Instruction in Manitoba (2023) ( 252 KB), which promote consistency and clarity in literacy instruction in Manitoba schools. A pilot project is planned for the 2026-2027 school year.

If you would like to participate in the consultation committee for the 2025-2026 school year, or if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Bureau de l’éducation française.

Curricular Documents


The prior curriculum framework for Anglais Grades 4 to 8 – French Program is an adaptation of the Draft English Language Arts Document to Support Initial Implementation (June 2017) (Manitoba Education and Training). It is on this basis that the Bureau de l’éducation française undertook the development of the Anglais Grades 4 to 8 curriculum framework, which continues to reflect the reality of the French Program in Manitoba and the needs of its clientele. The prior framework is supported by extensive research, ongoing collaboration, and frequent consultations with teachers and educational leaders.

Due to the subject matter, this document is written largely in English to facilitate teacher planning and to familiarize readers with the terminology used in the classroom.
