The school is being built to deal with the growing number of students attending École le Sommet and École Champlain.
"There was an urgent need to build a new school in Moncton to make up for the lack of space in current schools," Paul Demers, the chair of the district education council in Francophone Sud, said in a government news release.
The location of the new school will be chosen this fiscal year.
