Prairie Valley School Division

Prairie Valley School Division is one of 28 school divisions in Saskatchewan. It is located in the southeast area of the province and encompasses 27,000 square kilometres, spanning a geographic area from Regina Beach and Bethune to the west, Kelliher and Lipton to the north, Milestone, Sedley and Montmartre to the south and Whitewood and Kennedy-Langbank to the east. Its geography greatly affects the service delivery and cost models. Prairie Valley has 39 schools located in 32 communities. It is unique in that it is entirely rural, consisting of towns, villages, resort villages and rural municipalities, with no urban centre. There are two Hutterite colony schools in the division: Arm River and Lajord. Fifteen First Nations are in close proximity to the division: Piapot, Muscowpetung, Pasqua, Standing Buffalo, Little Black Bear, Okanese, Star Blanket, Peepeekisis, Muskowekwan, Carry-the-Kettle, Sakimay, Cowessess, Kahkewistahaw, Ochapowace and Pheasant Rump.
