Regional Diversity

The land on which Campbell River School District and our schools’ operate has always been a place of learning, and it is with respectful consideration that our programs and services acknowledge the histories, cultural contributions and contemporary concerns of all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who reside in these territories. The district is located on the east coast of central Vancouver Island, extending north to Sayward and south to Oyster River and includes the outer islands of Read, Cortes and Quadra.

Community Culture

We embrace the rich Indigenous cultures of our neighbouring First Nations bands. Campbell River is a scenic, oceanfront community framed by extensive waterfront, Westcoast forests and the snow-capped mountains of Strathcona Provincial Park.

Named one of the top five quality of life destinations in North America, Campbell River offers a balanced lifestyle surrounded by nature. With the waters of Discovery Passage at our shoreline and majestic mountains as a backdrop, Campbell River is located at the 50th parallel on the east coast of northern Vancouver Island. We are the third largest city on the island, with a population of 36,740, and the urban service centre and hub community for approximately 60,000 people living and working in our region.

The region is inhabited by friendly people who take pride in contributing to the vibrancy of their communities. Our schools are vital members of these close-knit communities, often contributing to community spirit, arts and environmental initiatives.

Specialty Programs

Along with our academic programs, we take particular pride in our music, French Immersion and Kʷak̓ʷala & Lik̓ʷala bilingual programs. Our district is also innovative in developing Indigenous education materials, unique teacher-led professional development programs, and in providing integrated before- and after-school care on our school grounds.

Draw for Employees

The area is renowned for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities such as skiing, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, golf, and endless opportunities to experience nature.
