Cowichan Valley: School District 79

About

Our mission is “to deliver learning opportunities that ensure the individual success of all students within a safe, caring and supportive environment.” We believe that this is best achieved through shared responsibility of the school, home and community.

Regional Diversity

The Cowichan Valley is a multicultural region with a proud First Nations heritage. Cowichan (Quw’utsun’) means ‘land warmed by the sun’ in the Coast Salish language. We are located on Vancouver Island midway between Nanaimo and Victoria and we have the warmest average temperatures in Canada. Spectacular scenery, lakes, mountains and ocean (as well as great outdoor recreation opportunities) await you.

Specialty Programs

Our district offers a variety of program choices, from preschool through to dual credit post-secondary. These include StrongStart centers, early learning programs, Aboriginal language and culture, French Immersion, self-paced secondary school, progressive integration of technology, comprehensive athletics and fine arts opportunities, and a variety of specialized trades programs.

Community Culture

The Cowichan Valley consists of many small and welcoming rural communities. Harrowsmith Country Life magazine has described our idyllic setting as the best spot for rural living in Canada. Art and music are tightly woven into the cultural fabric of the region, and residents’ pride in their community.
