Alaqsite’w Gitpu Education Philosophy

The Mi’gmaq values of sharing and dignity are rooted in the inherent beliefs, principles and values of our people. In the belief that all people are unique, we recognize and celebrate the embracement of our language and culture into our way of life and into all aspects of life. This reflects and is integrated into positive expectancy, self-actualization and self-respect.
