About Us
The Department of Education Schools Division is a team committed to delivering high-quality, inclusive and experiential education to students across the territory. We provide collective leadership to 20 Yukon Education elementary and secondary schools and programs in the territory, ensuring each school community is supported in providing the best learning experience to every student. We partner with Yukon First Nations governments and collaborate with various education stakeholders, including school councils, families, non-governmental organizations and others to strengthen our education system.
Yukon First Nations governments are an important partner in the governance of the territory , and their traditional territories cover almost all the land in the Yukon. There are 14 Yukon First Nations and several transboundary Indigenous groups who have traditional territory in the Yukon. Yukon First Nations ways of knowing, doing and being are integral to our school communities and student learning. Yukon Education schools provide experiential learning programs with a Yukon First Nations lens. Our work is guided by implementing actions that embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.
