Richmond School District, officially the Board of Education of School District No. 38 (Richmond), also known as SD38, is a school district based in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The school board is governed by seven elected trustees, and serves the entire city of Richmond.

The district supports a hands on approach to learning that emphasizes students' actual skills rather than grades and standardized test performance.[3]
