Moncton’s east end is getting a new school.

The province is investing $96.5 million in a new Kindergarten to grade 8 facility for 990 students.

Forest Glen School and Sunny Brae Middle School will become one.

“Bringing these two school communities together into a modern, purpose-built learning environment allows us to better support teaching and learning in ways that reflect today’s classrooms,” said Randolph MacLean, superintendent of Anglophone East School District.

Sunny Brae Middle School serves students in grades 5 through 8, while Forest Glen teaches children in kindergarten through Grade 4.

The new school will be built on the site of Forest Glen School on Keenan Drive. Construction is expected to begin in 2027 with an anticipated opening date of September 2030. Both existing schools will remain open until the new facility is ready.
