Zhingwaako Zaaga'igan School

BOOZHOO!

Welcome to Zhingwaako Zaaga'igan School, a Kindergarten to Grade 12 community school located in Gakijiwanong First Nation in Northwestern Ontario.

Our school provides learning based on the Ontario Elementary and Secondary curriculum, enriched by Anishinaabe culture, traditional knowledge, community teachings, and land-based learning. We believe education is strongest when school, families, Elders, community members, teachers, and staff work together. Through these connections, we strive to provide our students with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and cultural foundation they need to learn, grow, and succeed.

Our goal is to support every student on their educational journey and prepare our secondary students to work toward an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) while remaining connected to their culture, identity, community, and the land. At Zhingwaako Zaaga'igan School, we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed and be proud of who they are.
