The Conseil scolaire Viamonde (CSV) is a public-secular French first language school board, and manages elementary and secondary schools in the Ontario Peninsula and the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The school board operates 41 elementary schools and 16 secondary schools within that area. The school board operates two offices, one in Toronto, and one in Welland. The educational management office is located in the Maple Leaf neighbourhood of Toronto, whereas the business and financial management office is located in Welland.[1]
The school board was formed in 1998 after several local school boards were amalgamated into the French-language Public District School Board No. 58.[2] From 1999 to 2010, the school board was known as Conseil Scolaire de District du Centre-Sud-Ouest.[3] CSV is one of four members of the Association des conseils scolaires des écoles publiques de l'Ontario (ACÉPO).
The board was created 1 January 1998 when the Government of Ontario decided to amalgamate several secular French school boards in the Ontario Peninsula (an area made of Southwestern Ontario, and the Greater Golden Horseshoe). School boards that were amalgamated included:
| Secular French school boards merged into CSV | Number of schools operated in 1997 | |
|---|---|---|
| Conseil des écoles françaises de la communauté urbaine de Toronto | 5 elementary schools 2 secondary schools | |
| Conseil scolaire de Niagara Sud | 5 elementary schools 1 secondary school | |
| Conseil de l'éducation du comté de Simcoe | 3 elementary schools 1 secondary school | |
| Conseil de l'éducation de la ville de London | 1 elementary school 1 secondary school | |
| Conseil de l'éducation du comté de Lambton | 1 elementary school 1 secondary school | |
| Conseil de la ville de Hamilton | 1 secondary school |

CSV presently operates 41 elementary schools and 15 secondary schools throughout Southwestern Ontario and most of the Greater Golden Horseshoe.[4] The area in which the school board operates and provides schooling for covers 68,180 km2 of Ontario.
