UGDSB MISSION STATEMENT

The Upper Grand District School Board subscribes to a philosophy of education that embraces the intellectual, physical, social, spiritual, moral and cultural fulfillment of the individual. To this end, our schools share responsibilities with the home and those agencies within the community who seek to meet the cultural and social needs of people.

The basic aim of education, therefore, is to provide for the individual to grow in knowledge, to seek truth, to assess values, and to develop physically to find his/her place as a happy and productive member of society.

All children in the Upper Grand District School Board have the right to the best education available. This means that they are entitled to access the education and training facilities for which their talents qualify them and that no condition of race, religion, language or background shall be allowed to impede their progress to full citizenship. Schools are dedicated to providing, within the limit of its financial resources, an opportunity for each individual to be educated to the limit of their ability.
