Our Community

Although sənsisyustən is a private school, it is open to all students whether they are aboriginal, or non-aboriginal 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.

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

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

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

Mission

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