About Us
Educational Divisions
Our Educational Divisions, which are run through the Grassy Narrows Education Authority, begin at Daycare. The Daycare joined the Authority in 2022-23 school year. They have combined their staff with JK, SK and Grade 1 to create the Early Years Learning team. Our goal is to target the early years to ensure all students get a strong foundation in learning.
Firstly, the Elementary Division goes from Grade 1 to 8 and follow the Ontario Elementary Curriculum. Secondly, High School Division is inspected, offers Grade 9-12, and follows the Ontario High School Curriculum. Finally, all Grades are under the support by the Learning Hub which is our Resource Division.
THE LEARNING HUB
The Sakatcheway Anishinabe Elementary School Resource Centre (also know as “The Learning Hub”) is a place where students are supported in an environment that is safe and fun. We seek to create experiences for students that support learning and foster self-esteem.

In addition to the Elementary School, the Grassy Narrow Educational Authority also runs an Inspected High School that follows the Ontario Cirriculum.
Sakatcheway Anishinabe High School is an inspected school that follows the Ontario Curriculum, as well as some locally produced courses. Many of the local courses are land based and promote experiential learning.
In 2022-23 school year, Sakatcheway Anishinabe High School with the direction of the Resource Department made a move to offer more courses in the trades. These include Auto Mechanics, Welding, Hospitality & Tourism, and Deign & Textiles. These courses have been met with great enthusiasm from students. There are plans to add additional courses in the next few years.
The school boasts a new Auto Mechanics garage. This garage has all the equipment for delivering the required curriculum and training in this field of study. Our Instructor in the Shop is Auto Mechanic Noel Leonard.
This Christmas a fashion show was to showcase designs created by the students in the Design & Fashion course. All student designs are ribbon skirts that have variations which have deep meaning for the students.
Outdoor Education Program
In addition, the High School has an excellent Outdoor Education program. Students have access to canoes, ATV’s, and outdoor gear necessary for learning outside of the structured classroom. Grassy Narrows sits in the heart of the Boreal Forest and offers inedible opportunities for learning, not just about the past, but for the present and future interests of the community.
