Sunchild First Nation School is dedicated to student-centred programming that promotes academic excellence as well as exposes students to fun and engaging extracurricular activities.

Our goal is to ensure that all students become critical thinkers, active problem-solvers, inquisitive readers, diligent researchers, prolific writers, and culturally aware of what it means to be First Nations.

Sunchild School employs more than 50 professional and para-professional staff members. Each one of our staff is committed to providing a positive quality education experience for our students.

Check out not only our acedemic courses, but also the many lunchtime and after school activities and clubs hosted by our teachers. Sunchild School also offers numerous support services for mind and body to reach and support the whole person in everyone.

As a staff we are here to support students daily, by any means possibleto ensure that each student can reach their fullest potential.
