Prairie Spirit School Division (PSSD) is reporting another year of enrolment growth, with an increase of 170 students this fall.
Prairie Spirit has 12,086 students in its 46 schools, effective September 30, 2023. The increase in enrolment aligns with projections submitted by the school division to the Ministry of Education.
All school divisions in the province must report their official enrolment numbers to the Ministry of Education at the end of September each year. Enrolment is a key factor in determining provincial funding to school divisions.
Prairie Spirit School Division serves students in 46 schools and 28 communities surrounding the City of Saskatoon. The school division also includes nine Hutterite colonies and three First Nations communities. The school division covers a wide geographic area: north to Leask, south to Hanley, east to Colonsay and west to Perdue.
