We are the third largest school district in the Province of British Columbia, and as such we have a diverse population which includes young families, new Canadians, professionals, and others who are choosing to locate here for the quality of life that includes a thriving public education system.

Our student achievement levels continue to be exceptional and are among the top in Metro Vancouver and the province.

SD43 has been, and always will be, built on the fundamentals of student achievement, inclusive practices, community and cultural development, literacy, social-emotional, and early and lifelong learning.

By working together and striving to achieve a clear set of goals and objectives SD43 will continue to advance, be a leader in student achievements and outcomes, and be a contributing organization to the social and cultural well-being and economic prosperity of the regions we serve.
