Calgary School Reviews

School Location

Langevin School is located in the close in northeast community of Bridgeland/Riverside. We are a unique K-grade nine school that is primarily made up of students who come from throughout the city to attend the Science Alternative Program. We also house the Chinese Bilingual Program for grades 7-9 and a system special education class (ACCESS). These are all programs of choice within the Calgary Board of Education. The Science Alternative Program is the largest program with space for 550 students in Kindergarten through grade 9. This program is designed to meet the needs of students who have a keen interest in science and inquiry based learning. The Chinese Bilingual Program, grades 7-9, is also a part of the Langevin School community. There are approximately 20 students in the junior high component of the program which is designed to provide students with 705/30% English/Chinese instruction as well as exposure to Chinese culture. The K-6 Chinese Bilingual Program is located at King George School. We also have a CBE Special Education Class (ACCESS III) which has 10 students in it who have specialized learning needs. Students from all programs continue at their designated high schools for grades 10-12.
