Our Mission
sənsisyustən delivers a superior, highly flexible, learner-centered education enriched by syilx teachings, language, and culture.
Learning

Everyone Welcome

Although sənsisyustən is a private school, it is open to all students whether they are indigenous, or non-indigenous living on or off reserve. We collaborate with School District 23 and other First Nation schools, working toward offering all students opportunities to share and build capacity together.

Small Class Sizes

sənsisyustən offers small class sizes that offer students more one on one teacher time. Teacher student ratio is approximately 1:18. 

Outdoor Classrooms

The newly renovated building offers outdoor classrooms and learning opportunities that provide students with unique ways to connect with education. 

Hands-On Learning Opportunities

Students gain direct practical experience working with Elders and educators. 

Cultural Field Trips

Field trips such as tea picking, gathering sage, and digging bitter root teach traditional syilx cultural beliefs and build understanding. 

 

Language & Culture

Integrated syilx Language & Culture

sənsisyustən offers a wonderful balance of current BC curriculum and Okanagan Language and culture is taught in every grade. 

Programming

Hot Breakfast & Lunch Program

Our hot breakfast and lunch program is offered to ensure students have nutritious food that provides energy and allows them to focus at school.

ERASE Bullying Program

sənsisyustən supports a bully-free environment. The ERASE Bullying program was developed to build a safe and caring school community.
