Cree School Board (CSB; Template:Lang-fr; Template:Lang-cr) is a school district in northern Quebec, headquartered in Mistissini,^[1] with an additional office in the James Bay Eeyou School in Chisasibi.^[2]

While most Quebec school boards are categorized by language, CSB is categorized as a "special-status school board".^[3] It offers education in Cree, French, and English.

History

Initially the headquarters was in Val-d'Or but they later moved to Mistissini.^[5]
