Ontario has four publicly funded school systems: English Catholic, English Public, French Catholic, and French Public. All boards are funded on a per pupil basis, with other grants added to provide equal educational opportunities for all students (i.e. Special Education, Learning Opportunities, Transportation, etc.)

In addition, boards across the province have maximized efficiencies through shared services. In Bruce-Grey we are able to share transportation and purchasing with the Bluewater District School Board, resulting in efficiencies for both boards.

The Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board looks forward to continuing its tradition of serving the families of Bruce and Grey counties, offering quality programming in a culture of deep caring that nurtures students in body, mind and spirit. Accountability and strong fiscal management, in accordance with our Catholic School Graduate expectation to be ‘responsible citizens’, supports the future of our schools and those that they serve.
