The Richmond School District is proud to celebrate Education Week each year. This special week shines a spotlight on the exceptional achievements and efforts unfolding across school districts province-wide, including our own. Education Week is a time to acknowledge our commitment to these values and the positive impact they have on our students' educational journeys.

Inspiring Early Learners

Early childhood experiences play a pivotal role in shaping a child’s future. From birth to school-age, exposure to language-rich environments and play-based learning, coupled with supportive relationships, lays the foundation for lifelong success. Learn how these critical experiences nurture learning, well-being and inclusivity, while emphasizing our commitment to equity from the onset of a child's educational journey.
