NLSchools (formally known as Newfoundland & Labrador English School District as of 2024) is the school board overseeing all English-language primary and secondary education in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. In June 2018, NLESD held jurisdiction over 256 schools serving more than 65,000 students across the province. It was created in 2013 as part of the amalgamation of all provincial school boards into an English-language and a French-language board.[1][2] There had previously been four English-language school boards in the province: the Nova Central School District, Eastern School District, Labrador School Board, and Western School Board.[3]
