The Division serves the educational needs of over 44,000 students through a faith-based learning environment with 5,000+ employees in 96 schools and other sites. School programming has grown from one program in one school to six Division sites offering a Nehiyaw Pimatisiwin Cree Language and Culture program. Our division also boasts First Nation Métis and Inuit (FNMI) Graduation Coaches who deliver the Braided Journeys Program at 15 schools, along with Truth and Reconciliation Lead Teachers at every school. This work happens because of the commitment to serving students that exists at all levels of our Division.
