An on-reserve school that has created their own curriculum that meets the needs and expectations of the community itself.

Janine Landry interviews Pic River First Nation’s director of education, Lisa Michano-Courchene about the community run primary school. The Pic River First Nation School is an on-reserve school that has created its own curriculum that meets the needs and expectations of the community itself. The school integrates ceremony, language and land in every aspect of the classroom and curriculum. It has worked to move away from “teacher as expert” and move more towards life-long learning together as community.
