Principal Message

Tansi,

As another school year comes to a close, I would like to offer gratitude to our students, families, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, staff, and community partners for making this year such a success.

Throughout the year, our students demonstrated resilience, growth, and determination in both their academic and personal journeys. Together, we celebrated many accomplishments, from classroom successes and athletic achievements to cultural teachings, ceremonies, feasts, land-based learning experiences, and community gatherings. Every day, our students reminded us of the strength, wisdom, and potential that exists within our community.

This year, we continued to honour Indigenous ways of knowing through language, song, story, ceremony, and connection to the land. We are grateful to the Elders, Cultural Facilitators, and Knowledge Keepers who shared their teachings and helped guide our students along their learning journeys. These experiences continue to strengthen the identity, confidence, and well-being of our young people.

To our families, thank you for trusting us with your children and for partnering with us throughout the year. Your support, encouragement, and involvement help create a strong foundation for student success. To our staff, thank you for your dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to our students. The care you bring to your work each day makes amiskwaciy Academy a special place to learn and grow.

As summer begins, I encourage everyone to take time to rest, reconnect with family, spend time on the land, and continue giving thanks each morning for the gifts we have been given. May the summer months bring healing, laughter, adventure, and opportunities to create lasting memories with those you love.

To our graduating students, congratulations on this important milestone. We are incredibly proud of your accomplishments and look forward to seeing the positive impact you will have on your families, communities, and the world. Wherever your path may lead, remember that you will always be part of the amiskwaciy family.

Have a safe, joyful, and restorative summer. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall as we continue our journey together.

ay-hiy,

Our School

Located at 101 Airport Road in the heart of city-centre Edmonton, students attending amiskwaciy Academy come from across Edmonton and surrounding areas as well as from First Nations communities and Metis settlements throughout western Canada and the Northwest Territories (currently amiskwaciy represents First Nations communities throughout Canada).

The majority of our students are First Nations, Metis or Inuit and our goal is to widen the circle and welcome students of all cultures to join us in our educational community.

Partnerships with post-secondary, businesses and community agencies are essential to support our youth academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
