Provided by Central Okanagan Public School District #23
An education program that provides services to students of Aboriginal Ancestry to enhance their school experience.
The School District No. 23 Aboriginal Education Program supports K–12 students emotionally, socially, academically, and behaviorally, provides a connection between home and school, guides goal setting and career planning, liaises with families and communities, and strengthens cultural connections.
The Aboriginal Education Program includes:
- Academic advising, coaching, and support
- Career Planning
- Cultural teachings
- Goal Setting
- Personal and emotional support
- Nsyilxcen (Okanagan) Language
- Liaison with parents, guardians and community agencies
An Aboriginal student is someone who self identifies as being of Aboriginal Ancestry (First Nations, status and non-status, Inuit, and Métis). Only the student, parent or guardian can "self-identify," not Bands or district staff.
