Welcome to School District #19 (Revelstoke)!
We would like to respectfully honour the four nations on whose land we live and learn: The Sinixt, the Secwepemc, the Ktunxa, and the Syilx Okanagan.
Nestled along the picturesque Columbia River, Revelstoke enjoys an enchanting backdrop framed by the Selkirk and Monashee Mountain Ranges. Revelstoke is a true gem in the heart of nature’s grandeur.
Revelstoke’s geographic location, ensconced in the mountains, sets it apart offering a unique blend of isolation and resilience. Our strength lies in fostering robust community partnerships, a tradition we’ve upheld since the 1990s, particularly in the realm of Early Learning initiatives.
Within our school district, we proudly house one secondary school and three elementary schools. We serve a diverse student population of approximately 1100 students and within our schools and school district we embrace a rich tapestry of learners.
A vital aspect of the district’s identity is the ten percent of students of Indigenous ancestry. We hold a deep-rooted partnership with the Indigenous Friendship Society, recognizing the shared territory. While no First Nation Bands physically reside in Revelstoke, we nurture growing alliances with First Nations spanning from Enderby, BC to Inchelium, WA.
Our commitment revolves around providing a safe, equitable learning environment where each learner’s unique passions and interests are embraced, setting them on the path to success.
In the 2021 Census conducted by Statistics Canada, Revelstoke’s population stands at 8,275 and is increasing.
Revelstoke is a community thriving amidst natural beauty, forging partnerships and embracing diversity, all while navigating the evolving landscape of education and societal change.
