Our Board
As a teaching and learning organization, the Algoma District School Board exists to help all learners reach their fullest potential as “confident learners, caring citizens.” We are dedicated to providing a pathway for every learner in a public education system that is open, accessible and welcoming to all.
Through our strategic priorities of Achievement, Well-being and Engagement, as well as character education, our students develop a sense of respect and responsibility for themselves and others while becoming caring citizens who respect diversity, contribute to society and who actively engage in making their schools and communities safe, healthy and caring places.
Algoma District School Board employs close to 2,400 staff members. We educate nearly 10,000 students – approximately 6,700 in our elementary schools and close to 3,300 in our secondary schools.
