Company Profile

Company Description:

The North Slope Borough School District is committed to embedding through our curriculum and teaching practices, traditional Iñupiaq ways of raising and educating children, Iñuguqsiñiq, which is the principle that guides our work with the children and communities of the North Slope. We share in the responsibility to support our students' development as iñulluatat-good human beings-able to navigate successfully in today's world. We honor and recognize the unique process of learning that is deeply tied to land, culture, language, and knowledge of the Iñupiat. This approach, which engages the Iñupiaq worldview, respects how children learn as they become aware of their surroundings and expand their knowledge in adulthood.
