Seasonal Learning

Our students and staff partake in educational experiences with local Knowledge Keepers and Elders. We are fortunate enough to have kehtêayak in Residency program which provides students with a connection to kehtêayak daily. Our education system reaches out into the community where we learn protocols, teachings and language that help in the strong formation of our identities. Our localized context provides rich learning opportunities that nurture the wellbeing of students and staff.

Partnerships

Our students are involved in experiences with a wide range of partnering organizations. From the Edmonton Oilers to the University of Alberta and NAIT students are provided opportunities that expand the learning environment and enhance learning.

Cree Language Learning

Our students will learn nêhiyawawin (Cree) language to connect them to the land, history and relationships through daily activities and learning unit development. Why? Studies have shown that students who speak the language including understanding the meanings, values and traditions have a stronger identity, more family involvement and do better in school.
