Indigenous Foundational Learning
About
We acknowledge that the land on which we offer this program is the traditional territories of the Blackfoot and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, and is also home of Metis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
The Indigenous Foundational Learning Program builds foundational literacy, numeracy, and essential skills to prepare you for high school programming or employment. Indigenous learners engage in holistic learning that fosters well-being and connection to the community.
