The intent of Wahgoshig’s Education department is to build and maintain a top-quality educational system, including a physical space on reserve, with a holistic learning environment where our children will learn about who they are as aboriginal people, learn about their culture, history, and language, and receive an excellent academic education to ensure they can contribute and live successfully either within the Wahgoshig community, or outside it. Wahgoshig’s Education department will aim to help students achieve academic excellence, practical training, and the capacity to function and thrive in whatever environment they choose to live and work in. The Education department will also seek to move away from systems and curricula that were imposed on them, and towards educational facilities and practices of their own design.
