Find hundreds of rewarding career opportunities in BC schools

In the southeast corner of British Columbia, there is spectacular scenery, pristine lakes, forested hillsides, wide-open spaces, and Southeast Kootenay School District 5. Approximately 36,000 people reside in the communities of Cranbrook, South Country (Baynes Lake, Grasmere, Elko, Galloway and Jaffray), Fernie, Sparwood and Elkford.

The communities and their surrounding areas are supported by resource-based industries such as mining, forestry, tourism, along with other small secondary industries. People enjoy the many natural amenities associated with the environment: fishing, hiking, skiing, cycling and golfing. Cranbrook is the home of the College of the Rockies. Fernie is the proud home of one of the fastest growing ski developments in North America: Fernie Alpine Resort.

In Southeast Kootenay, we set high expectations for our students. Our students thrive in an innovative and academically enriched educational environment. Our caring and supportive school communities value family involvement and foster clear values that build confidence, character, and good citizenship every day. We encourage our students to participate in a wide array of co-curricular activities and motivate each child to reach his or her individual potential.
