Teaching in New Brunswick
The Anglophone West School District (ASD-W) is composed of passionate educators in a district comprising 69 schools in the central, western, and northwestern regions of the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The district is situated in Wolastokuk, the homeland of the Wolastoqiyik people, whose namesake comes from the Wolastoq (Saint John) River, which flows through the heart of our district.
A Culture of Respect and Trust
We promote a respectful workplace environment based on the New Brunswick Public Service Values and Conduct Guide.
We also adhere to our ASD-W Mission, Vision, and Values.
Diversity and Equal Employment Opportunities
We support cultural diversity in our workplace, and provide all people–including Indigenous people, members of visible minority groups, and persons with disabilities–with equal access to employment, training, and advancement opportunities.
