ABOUT US

LOCATION

School District No. 57 (SD57) Indigenous Education services the communities of Prince George, Mackenzie, McBride, and Valemount. We honor and respect the people and ancestral lands of the Lheidli T'enneh, McLeod Lake Indian Band, and Simpcw First Nation of whose territories we operate on and service. 

SD57 Indigenous Education consists of 83+ staff members who focus on Indigenous student success. Initiatives include: curriculum, academics, culture, language, and social /emotional support. SD57 Indigenous Education works collaboratively with all departments and schools within SD57 to ensure that Indigenous Education is authentically woven into all classrooms for inclusive learning.

SD57 Indigenous Education offers a variety of services with the goal of closing the educational/opportunity gap for Indigenous students. The goal is to infuse Indigenous perspectives throughout the education system for all students, as well as provide direct wrap-around supports to enhance the overall achievement of Indigenous students throughout SD57.
