Mountain View School Division (MVSD) is located in the Parkland Region - the heart of Manitoba prairies. Hidden between the Riding Mountains to the south and the Duck Mountains to the north, the region is famous for its beautiful nature that attracts lots of tourists. Lakes and springs, forests, and grasslands make the environment healthy and offer lots of outdoor opportunities.

Mountain View School Division was founded in 1957. Today it consists of sixteen schools that are located in the communities of Dauphin, Grandview, Gilbert Plains, Ethelbert, Roblin, Winnipegosis, and Ochre River. Six of these schools accept international students from all over the world. The closest international airport is in Winnipeg. Mountain View School Division staff meet students at the airport and transfer them safely to their new homestay families in Manitoba.
