The Kenora Catholic District School Board provides a values-based education that prioritizes spirituality, community and caring as core parts of its educational programming. While the academic success of a child is very important, Kenora Catholic believes it's even more important that a child grows up to be a good person. The school board provides an education that respects the universal values of all faiths, grounded in Catholic principles. Along with striving to provide the highest quality education, they emphasize the importance of social responsibility. Families can rest assured that their child's education is grounded in positive values, which will help them develop into active members of the global community, with a strong social conscious.

Based in Treaty #3 Territory, Kenora Catholic District School Board recognizes the importance of infusing local First Nation, Métis and Inuit culture and traditions into its schools so that all students, staff and families feel welcomed and valued and understand and appreciate the rich cultural diversity present in the region. The board has a team of staff from an Elder in Residence, First Nation Métis and Inuit Graduation Coach, First Nation Liaison, Jordan's Principle Lead, Language Facilitators, to a First Nation, Métis and Inuit Education Coordinator to help make sure every child has what they need to reach their full potential.

The Kenora Catholic District School Board has small schools and classroom communities that are tight-knit and feel like a family.

Dedicated to excellence in Catholic education, Kenora Catholic oversees educational programming and opportunities for three elementary schools and one secondary school in Kenora, Ontario and one elementary school in nearby Red Lake, Ontario, serving 1,355 students and 240 permanent staff members.
