District Overview
Our mission is to create a dynamic and inclusive learning community where all learners are supported in pursuing excellence, living their dreams and reaching their potential. This mission is supported by our core values and our belief in: successful performance; respect for diversity; engagement and mentoring; citizenship and social responsibility; connections and cooperation; and preparing for the future.
Sea to Sky School District No. 48 operates schools in the communities of Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Devine, Brackendale, and Garibaldi Highlands.
Specialty Programs
Our modern and progressive school system offers a full range of education programs and services. Specialty programs include French immersion, an international student program, a carpentry trades program, a culinary arts program, and web-conferencing. Through our outdoor education program in Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton secondary schools, students participate in hiking, skiing, snowboarding, golfing, rock climbing, mountain biking, windsurfing, ocean kayaking and camping.
Sea to Sky Community
Regional Diversity
Our district contains three major population centers: Squamish (a dynamic city with a mix of businesses, post-secondary education institutions and light industry), Whistler (a world-class four-season resort that will host most of the alpine and sledding events at the 2010 Winter Olympics) and Pemberton (a quickly growing town 20 minutes from Whistler). Our district also serves three First Nations communities.
Community Culture
Outdoor activities abound – from skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and eagle watching in the winter to mountain biking, rock climbing, river rafting, golfing and more in the summer. The area is culturally diverse, with a significant First Nations population and a sizable Indo-Canadian population in Squamish.
Draw for Employees
As a district, we are committed to building a professional learning community based on the belief that when teachers learn, students succeed.
