New Frontiers School Board (NFSB)
- The New Frontiers School Board’s territory borders the United States to the south, Ontario to the west, the St. Lawrence River to the north, and Autoroute 15 to the east.
- Our name reflects natural borders such as rivers and borders with the United States and Ontario, and a journey that will expand the frontiers of education… literacy, technology, and lifelong learning.
- We provide enriched learning experiences, bilingual programs, and a variety of extracurricular activities. Dedicated teachers and school staff work hand in hand with school administrators, students, and families to create top-quality learning environments.
“We are dedicated workers giving our time to make sure students have everything they need to succeed. We are families volunteering for fundraisers and sports tournaments. We are elected officials weighing all the options and making decisions to ensure the New Frontiers School Board stretches its resources to the limit. We are the New Frontiers School Board, a community of lifelong learners and a community that cares. That’s who we are.”
