Gitsegukla Education Department

Mission Statement

Holistically provide all Gitsegukla Members with equal opportunities to educational programs and processes so they may reach their full potential as lifelong learners.

Our Vision

Our vision is to ensure all students learn academic and life skills, contributing to a foundation for respectful and responsible citizens of their territory and the world.

Elementary School

In Gitsegukla, the main provider of primary education is the Gitsegukla Elementary School. The hard-working teachers and support staff provide the k-7 students with B.C. curriculum, infused with Gitxsan culture and language.  We strive to provide a solid education in literacy and numeracy through core competencies and First People’s teachings. We believe education is key to the academic, physical, and mental health of our community members.

Student/Parent handbooks are handed out in September to each student. There is also a school policy book that is available to read in the school staffroom.

Headstart

The Gitsegukla Headstart offers a pre-kindergarten curriculum for young children. The Gitsegukla Headstart teachers and staff are dedicated to providing a strong foundation for our newest generations to grow upon.

Teaching the basics and encouraging positive social interaction allows for the next generation of students to start with a strong foundation before beginning their primary education.
