Welcome to the Lakeland Catholic School Division website. We trust you will find this site balanced, current, and most importantly, useful in providing valuable information. Lakeland Catholic is a full-service school division providing Catholic education to 2553 students in 8 schools located in Bonnyville, Cold Lake, Lac La Biche and Waskatenau. In addition, we serve the needs of an institutional school in Cold Lake and an online school with over 200 students.

Lakeland Catholic offers a broad curriculum that develops essential skills and competencies through advanced technologies, problem solving, critical thinking, cultural enrichment and the spiritual growth of all students. In essence, we provide education with a purpose. Parents, teachers, trustees, administrators, and the entire Lakeland Catholic community are involved in the vital mission of providing an education of the highest caliber that is permeated by our Catholic faith.

We offer an extensive professional development program for all of our staff that ensures they make the best use of technology, time, and community resources to maximize student learning. We believe that an effective professional development program, combined with the continuous evaluation of staff and program effectiveness is critical to student learning and development.

There are numerous links on this site, which will outline our recent work as well as our models of education, operation and governance. These areas will be updated regularly with our plans and decisions during the 2020-2021 school year.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the administration of Lakeland Catholic Schools, I wish everyone an excellent and productive school year.

Joe Arruda
Superintendent
