Halifax Wildcat Academy uses curriculum through the CAOLA program. CAOLA is proud to announce the successful completion of the 2025–2026 Curriculum Review process!

This annual collaborative initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality curriculum, instructional resources, and meaningful learning experiences for the districts, educators, students, and families we serve.

Throughout the review cycle, committee members from across the consortium worked together to evaluate courses, instructional materials, accessibility, usability, alignment, and overall program effectiveness. Their expertise, thoughtful feedback, and dedication to continuous improvement help ensure CAOLA’s programs remain rigorous, relevant, and responsive to the evolving needs of our learning communities.

Here are the higlights of the findings.
