Located an hour from Vancouver, in the heart of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford is BC's fifth largest and fastest growing city with affordable housing and abundant opportunities for recreational and cultural experiences.

For the adventurers, Abbotsford is a haven for birdwatching and hiking in the many provincial parks nearby. For those looking for beautiful open spaces and an escape from skyscrapers, Abbotsford is the perfect mix of nature and culture for you to call your new home. With over 200 local restaurants and a growing farm to table movement in Abbotsford, you will have no trouble finding a new favourite restaurant. A historic downtown also offers residents a pedestrian-friendly destination for you to explore a vibrant melee of relics, past and present.

Abbotsford Schools is guided by our mission statement, "Preparing and inspiring our students for a lifetime of success through respect, opportunity and innovation." Our innovative professional development model includes a facilitator in elementary and middle schools dedicated to creating vibrant professional learning communities. We also offer a successful teacher mentoring program and opportunities for new teachers and administrators in a variety of educational settings.

Abbotsford Schools will be looking to hire across all teaching disciplines at the EdTalent Job Fair in Toronto on April 26th – with a focus on those difficult to fill positions such as French immersion and Special Education.
