About the PRSD
Welcome to the Peace River School Division Family
At the Peace River School Division (PRSD), we believe that education is more than just a classroom experience—it’s a journey. Spanning 13,000 square kilometers across 11 vibrant communities, we are more than just a school division; we are a connected network of approximately 3,000 students, 500+ dedicated staff, and many supportive partners.
Where Potential Meets Opportunity
We believe every student deserves a stage to shine on, whether that’s in a science lab, a fine arts studio, or on the playing field. Our 19 schools offer a diverse range of programs designed to spark curiosity and build real-world skills from immersive fine arts to second language studies, various Career and Technology Studies (CTS), and a wide array of extracurriculars and sports programs that build character and community.
Innovation Driven by Connection
We don’t just teach for the future; we embrace it. Our staff provides inclusive, engaging environments tailored to the modern learner, supported by a division that deeply values their professional growth and well-being.
Communication is our cornerstone. We are proud of our national and provincial award-winning online engagement strategies, which empower our parents, students, and neighbors to help us shape the future of our schools. By listening to our community, we ensure our schools remain world-class places to learn, work, and grow.
A Massive Landscape, A Close-Knit Community
Operating a geographically large division requires a monumental effort. Every day, our transportation team safely moves nearly 2,900 students across the region, bridging the distance between 10 unique communities.
Our success is rooted in our partnerships. From local businesses and elected officials to neighboring divisions and post-secondary institutions, the "Peace River School Division Family" is built on a foundation of mutual support and shared goals.
