About Northeastern Catholic District School Board
The Northeastern Catholic District School Board (NCDSB) is the product of the coming together of regions, of boards, of schools, and of people from Catholic Communities throughout Northeastern Ontario.
The Board serves communities within the Districts of Cochrane, Timiskaming, Nipissing, and Moosonee. Each region has its own roots, and in fact, had its own separate school board at one time, operating with both English and French language sections.
Currently, we have 12 elementary schools, 1 secondary school, and an Adult Continuing Education Centre.
