With a rural, urban and suburban population, Thames Valley District School Board is a unique district shared across Elgin, Middlesex and Oxford Counties and the City of London. Our region is bordered by beautiful Lake Erie and Lake Huron, with some of the best green space and landscape that Ontario has to offer. Our District is home to the centre of excellence for healthcare and education, with London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London, Western University and Fanshawe College. Together, our communities have the best in care, teaching and learning; this region is diverse, accessible and affordable. We are a District in motion toward progressive growth and student achievement. As the fourth largest public school board in Ontario, our 7,000km2 district includes families who have been here for generations, and many who have recently arrived. We want our students and staff to be successful and we believe that equitable access to programs and opportunities helps everyone reach their full potential. To help us face these challenges and problem-solve, our Senior Leadership team is comprised of seasoned business and education professionals. A team of 17 experts in their field serve 80,000 students and 10,000 staff toward a goal of improving student achievement and well-being. We are a data-driven organization with a student-first growth mindset. Under the leadership of Director of Education Mark Fisher, we rely on research-informed practice, a commitment to equity, and value industry and community partnerships. Our relationships with the Ministry of Education and our Board of Trustees govern Board business and provide the freedom to work collaboratively and inspire innovation. Now is the time to become part of a team that is right-sized: large enough to be based on process and standards, but small enough to be nimble.
