School Philosophy

At Mamawi Atosketan Native School, we are dedicated to nurturing the holistic development of every student. We believe in fostering the growth of the mind, body, spirit, emotions, and social skills. Our phi-losophy is rooted in the conviction that true education empowers students to think independently ra-ther than merely echoing the thoughts of others. Each child possesses the potential to become a valua-ble member of society, contributing to their community and embracing their role as citizens of both earthly communities and God's kingdom.

The staff of Mamawi Atosketan Native School are dedicated to the growth and success of every student, acknowledging and celebrating the diversity of learning styles and backgrounds. We prioritize values such as humility, courage, honesty, wisdom, truth, respect and love, which resonate deeply with Indige-nous teachings and traditions. By embracing these values, including a deep respect for First Nations cul-tures, traditions, and perspectives, we create a supportive and inclusive environment where all students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. This includes recognizing the unique histories and contributions of First Nations peoples and integrating their knowledge systems and perspectives into the educational experience.

Our Mission

Mamawi Atosketan Native School provides a Christian education where students learn, grow, and live to serve, embracing their identities as members of First Nations communities and stewards of God's crea-tion.

Purpose Statement
