The Instructional Services department is responsible for the development and delivery of the YCDSB curriculum, guided by the following criteria:
* religious education,
* alternative education,
* continuing education,
* co-operative education,
* student assessment, and
* equity in curriculum.
The 85 elementary schools are administered as part of an ''Elementary School Area''; there are four areas in the school board. Each area is administered by a ''Superintendent of Education'', and the schools are divided into two groups, each of which has a ''Trustee''.
The 16 secondary schools are administered as a single group with two Superintendents of Education. Additionally, each school has at least one trustee, and each trustee may serve duties for one or more schools.
The department also has a Superintendent of Curriculum & Assessment and a Superintendent of Education & Student Services.
