School Overview
For more than 100 years, the Diocese of Nelson has been providing Catholic education to communities in the beautiful Okanagan and Kootenay regions of British Columbia. Presently, we operate elementary schools in Cranbrook, Nelson, Trail, Penticton, Kelowna and West Kelowna and a high school in Kelowna. The mission of the Catholic Independent Schools of Nelson Diocese (CISND) is to educate the whole child through the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. Through collaboration with the home and Church, CISND works to create lifelong learners who are contributing Christian members of society.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE
Successful applicants will become part of an educational community that learns and leads together while helping to fulfil the Vision and Mission of the Diocese of Nelson and the Catholic Church.
Successful applicants will be supported and connected to work with colleagues in their school and with other schools within our diocese.
Community & School Culture
Our school community is filled with the spirit of Christ, and we believe in supporting the formation of the whole person. Such formation embraces not only intellectual but also physical, emotional, moral and spiritual dimensions of human growth. This broad education prepares students for the challenges of life to become innovative and responsible global citizens.
LIFESTYLE AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
In the Kootenay’s and Okanagan, you can enjoy beautiful lakes, world-class wineries, and a vibrant cultural district, offer a wide variety of experiences for all ages. There are opportunities for swimming, water sports, golfing, hiking, camping, fishing, biking, snowmobiling and more. Our communities are truly wonderful places to live, work and play.
The Kootenay schools offer a more rural setting of smaller communities with a somewhat lower cost of living, while our Central Okanagan schools are situated in more urban areas.
Professional and Spiritual Development
Each school schedules professional and spiritual professional development during each school year. Additional opportunities are provided outside of scheduled professional development days. Every three years all staff from the seven schools gather together for a three-day Diocesan conference.
