At the Kenora Catholic District School Board, we nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. While academic success is very important to us, we believe it is just as important to help students grow into compassionate, engaged, and confident individuals. Rooted in values and open to families of all faiths, our schools foster a strong sense of community where students from Kindergarten to Graduation build positive relationships, explore meaningful connections, and develop a lifelong love of learning. With personalized pathways, caring educators, and a supportive environment, we ensure every child has the tools they need to thrive—academically, personally, and spiritually.
At KCDSB, We Grow Graduates who are not only prepared for the future but also inspired to make a difference in their families, communities, and the world.
