Programs

Our program, Nehiyaw Pimatisiwin Cree Language and Culture Program provides students with an opportunity to learn and use language in meaningful and purposeful ways.

The program explores language as a primary means by which cultural information is transmitted; culture influences linguistic form and content. Students participate in ceremonies which provide valuable insights and teachings about the interconnectedness of all things which gives balance to life; living in harmony with oneself, others and the global community.

Students receive instructions as prescribed by Alberta Education. In addition, the delivery of subject-area content, language instruction and cultural information occurs concurrently, promoting effective language acquisition. As well, the achievement in the skill areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing contributes to the development of effective global citizenship.

Yellow school bus transportation continues to be available to St. Francis of Assisi School. For further information regarding transportation, please contact the school.
