The Catholic Independent Schools of the Nelson Diocese (CISND) proudly serve families throughout the beautiful Okanagan and Kootenay regions of British Columbia. Our school community includes six elementary schools and one regional high school, each providing a Christ-centred education that inspires academic excellence, nurtures faith, and supports the growth of the whole child.
While each school has its own unique character, they all share a common mission: to provide a welcoming, faith-filled learning environment where students are known, encouraged, and empowered to reach their full potential. Working in partnership with families and local parishes, our schools help students grow in knowledge, character, compassion, and service.
Our schools are affiliated with the Catholic Independent Schools of BC (CISBC) and all schools under CISBC are Committed to Bully Free Schools.
