Education and Training

About Us

We provide quality education for students in Grades K-12. We also proudly offer training opportunities in community and supply funding provisions for off-reserve members. We teach the British Columbia curricula along with Sekani teachings and land-based education to ensure that our community members get the best, well-rounded education. Tsay Keh Dene’s certified First Nations Schools Association (FNSA) school was the first school in the province run by a First Nation.

Dear community,

Education & Training is invested in the continued growth, excellence, and success of our community through upskilling and learning. We will always work to improve student learning and support students in developing character without forgetting our connection to our land and heritage.
Dream Big, Achieve Big.
