  • The Manitoba School for the Deaf (MSD) provides full educational programs from Kindergarten to Grade 12 to students who are Deaf or hard of hearing and benefit from the ASL environment.
  • MSD provides a bilingual-bicultural (English-ASL, Deaf-Heaaring) environment with ASL being the language of instruction and English being taught as a second language.
  • MSD is a modern, central school offering technological advances such as a visual announcement and classroom communication system, a multi-media centre, and access to visual relay services.
  • MSD supports schools across the province using video conferencing.  Staff from MSD can communicate through ASL and/or voice with staff from other schools to provide a range of programming support.
  • Living accomodations are possible through the Home Stay and Residential programs from Sunday to Thursday for students from rural and northern communities.
