A Learning Commons is a library embracing 21st Century Skills. It's a physical and virtual space that allows students to be engaged and deepen their learning by critically thinking, problem-solving, collaborating, innovating and communicating. The goal is to broaden student learning beyond the classroom and community. For more information, visit the Alberta Government's Learning Commons website.

The CRAP Crates initiative is designed to provide high school students with self-directed, hands-on activities in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics). The program aims to foster independent exploration, creativity, and problem-solving skills by offering resource-rich crates placed in the Learning Commons. Each crate will encourage students to experiment, reason, and engage in interdisciplinary learning.
