Our Philosophy

/
Pikangikum parents and community members want their children to have an education which  will guide them to become positive, contributing members of a society that recognizes the rights  and dignity of each individual while also honouring Anishinabe culture, language, and values.  
 
Students entering Eenchokay Birchstick School have an opportunity to develop a sense of pride  in their goals.  
The Pikangikum Education Authority and school staff strive to provide a learning environment  in which people: 
a) Value one another unconditionally; 
b) Are fair and honest; 
c) See the school as a safe, beneficial educational environment; 
d) Feel that they belong and their presence and contributions are valued; e) Expect growth in themselves and others; 
f) View themselves as part of a cooperative team; 
g) Seek opportunities to improve; 
h) Support one another; and 
i) Plan and act upon plans.
