Vision & Mission

Sandy Lake First Nation in partnership with parents and guardians ensures that all students be provided with a high quality education which empowers them to be self-sufficient, life-long learners and responsible community and family members.

The students are taught to respect, practice and take pride in our Anishinabe cultural, spiritual and linguistic values as given to us by the Creator.

We strongly believe in offering a program that promotes healthy development in all aspects by creating a warm, loving, safe, positive and fun environment.
