About FRONTIER SCHOOL DIVISION
Since 1965, Frontier School Division has been continually building on our Excellence and Experience in Education.
As the largest geographical school division in Manitoba, spanning 75% of the province’s land mass, we are fortunate to be part of a large number of communities – some of which are often only accessible by boat, air, rail or winter ice road. This allows us to provide rich opportunities to our students, including a wide variety of outdoor educational activities, travel to new and sometimes remote parts of the province, and participation in school events such as Frontier Games.
