Teacher à France

Our District

In the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District, we serve just over 7000 students in 24 schools through various sites around Shuswap Lake and the North Okanagan. We offer a K-12 French Immersion program within School District no. 83. Our district is known for strong academic achievement, a thriving trades and careers program, and a rich culture of school athletics. We support Indigenous learners from five distinct communities: the Adams Lake Band, the Little Shuswap Lake Band, the Neskonlith Band, the Splatsin First Nation, and the Salmon Arm Metis Association. Our newly developed Strategic Plan emphasizes a “students first” focus on success, organizational efficiency, and a culture of health and wellness.

Our Communities

With year-round recreational activities in a spectacular natural setting, we offer a small-town atmosphere with big city services. You’ll find musical and theatre performances, garden markets, wineries, and opportunities for boating, biking, hiking, and golf right outside your door.
