Richmond School District (School District No. 38) is a school district based in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada.

The school board serves the city of Richmond.

Schools

As of 2013 the district has 38 primary schools, 10 secondary schools, and one alternative school. The Richmond School District (SD38) believes in a hands on learning approach and is less worried about the grades of their students, but rather the actual skills of their students.[1]

Elementary schools

In Richmond, most elementary schools run from Kindergarten to Grade 7.

Secondary schools

Prior to 1996, Richmond had separate Junior Secondary Schools (grades 8-10) and Senior Secondary Schools (grades 11-12). Starting in 1996, the district began a two-year merging process that changed all high schools to be Grades 8 to 12 inclusive.
