All teachers and staff are committed to academic excellence and the provision of quality education which encourages social, emotional and moral development. Western Québec respects and promotes the rights and responsibilities of every individual while maintaining a student-centred, safe and healthy learning environment. Parents and communities are valued as collaborative partners in enriching programs and achieving goals.

Traditionally, Québec’s school boards were divided by language and religion. Our story begins in 1998 however, when the Government introduced a new educational framework by deciding to omit religion from public educational institutions. This changed jurisdictions and territories of school boards across the province. English schools and adult education centres in the Outaouais, Pontiac and Abitibi regions joined the Western Québec community. Today, its territory is approximately twice the size of Nova Scotia.​
