Since the City of Dawson Creek serves the entire region, it provides high quality amenities for its citizens.

Fifteen schools in and around the city

For example, state-of-the-art education is provided through a network of 15 elementary, middle and secondary schools, which are located in the City of Dawson Creek and surrounding rural areas.

Our school district is recognized as a provincial leader in education technology. All schools are equipped with an advanced telecommunications system that allows for skill development in the information technologies including audiovisual and media arts.

The School District is also a provincial leader in special needs technologies and services, including children with behavioral or learning disabilities, as well as the special challenges of gifted students. The French Immersion program, which began with just 19 children in 1983, has now graduated eight classes.
