Mission Statement
Mamawi Atosketan Native School provides an excellent Christian, academic program which respects and responds to each student’s cultural and academic needs within a safe and caring rural environment.
Our Philosophy
Mamawi Atosketan Native School is dedicated to the development of the whole person, the harmonious development of the mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual faculties. We feel the goal of true education is to make every child an independent thinker, rather than a mere reflector of other men’s thoughts. Every child has the capability to become a productive member of society, and a proud citizen of his community as well as a citizen of God’s kingdom.
