List Of School Districts In British Columbia
The province of British Columbia in Canada is divided into 60 school districts which administer publicly funded education until the end of grade 12 in local areas or, in the case of francophone education, across the province. Districts Changes Many school districts were in existence prior to British Columbia joining Canada in 1871. Some districts were just single schools or even one teacher.

Many districts' names are a legacy of this pattern. In 1946, the Ministry of Education rearranged the province's 650 school districts into 74, giving each a number and a name.A Highlight History of British Columbia Schools by Shirley Cuthbertson'], Royal British Columbia Museum. Retrieved 2013-11-04. The school districts were numbered geographically starting in the southeast corner and proceeding in a counter-cl ...
