Our schools and District offices reside on the traditional territories of the Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) and Musqueam Indian Band. The district offers its respect to the Knowledge Keepers and all First Peoples who have been on these lands since time immemorial.
Delta encompasses 180 square kilometres bordered by the Fraser River on the north, the United States border and Boundary Bay on the south, the City of Surrey on the east and the Strait of Georgia on the west. It encompasses the thriving communities of Ladner, North Delta, Tsawwassen and TFN.
The Delta School District has 24 Elementary Schools and 7 Secondary schools, and services more than 16,000 students. Approximately 600 students identify as having Indigenous ancestry and more than 1,100 students with disabilities or diverse abilities that require varying levels of support. The district employs more than 2,500 staff.
We are proud to provide safe, culturally diverse, and nurturing learning environments from kindergarten through Grade 12 to meet unique learning needs. The district offers a wide variety of quality programs including International Baccalaureate, French Immersion programs, Distributed Learning programs (Home Quest and Delta Access), traditional schools, a world-class International Student Program, and a wide range of continuing education programs (Delta Community College) to engage students in stimulating and relevant educational experiences. In addition, our dedication to social responsibility teaches our students to respect themselves, their environment and each other, and encourages them to find ways to give back to their local communities.
In the Delta School District, our entire community is working hard to become the best district we can be. We have collaborated to identify a vision that we are committed to achieving. By 2030, the Delta School District will be ‘an innovative, inclusive community where all learners belong and everyone soars.’
