Strategic Plan
In 2022, the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) launched our new Strategic Plan to act as our guide as we create schools where all students are able to reach their full potential on their chosen pathway in learning and life.
Our plan defines our vision and mission as a school district. To help us achieve our mission and vision, we are guided by six strategic directions and seven skills and attributes as part of a learner profile. The entire strategic plan was built using what we heard from students, families, community members and staff.
Our Vision
Celebrating the gifts of each and every student by creating limitless opportunities for them to flourish, grow and become their best selves.
Our Mission
Creating learning environments where all students excel as they become skilled, caring, and compassionate global citizens.
Strategic Directions
As we look towards the future, we are setting our goals high. We aim to set the WRDSB apart as a leader in public education not only in Canada, but around the world.
Our six Strategic Directions will guide us on this journey.

The Learner Profile is designed to ensure students have the ability to succeed academically in the classroom, and have the skills to excel in their future careers, whatever their chosen pathway. It was developed in direct consultation with students, to ensure it responds to their needs.
When they graduate, WRDSB students will be:
