BC's new curriculum
Since 2013 British Columbia's curriculum has undergone a considerable redesign. For additional information about BC's new K-12 Curriculum, visit the Ministry of Education website or UVic Libraries' guide on BC's curriculum.
To access information and resources on specific grade and subject curriculum, the Ministry of Education has created a Search Curriculum page. This page allows you to search by type, subject, and grade. For example, you could search for content for grade two science or arts.

- Big Ideas (Understand):
