Manitoba's school boards have one purpose: to provide our students with the best schools possible.
Schools and school boards work with parents as partners in children’s learning.
You don’t need to look beyond the boundaries of The Seven Oaks School Division in Winnipeg to be reminded that Canada truly is a cultural mosaic.
From October through March, for 1.5 hours three days a week, students can take advantage of no fewer than nine varieties of after-school heritage language classes—Punjabi, Polish, Portuguese, Italian, Filipino, Cree, Ojibwe, Spanish, and German. Thanks to these classes, each year over 300 students gain language skills and cultural understandings that help them build pride in their heritage, and connections to their communities.
