Deh Gáh School On-the-Land Programming
Deh Gáh is the only school in the NorthwestTerritories to operate on a year-round basis and offer extensive experiential land-basedprograms, immersion programs and multi-day on-the-land trips. By makingfundamental changes to the scheduling of the school calendar year and adjustments to the curriculum, the school has been able to create a land-based program through which every student spends four to six weeks on the land during fall, winter, spring and summer. By the time a student graduates, they will have spentfifty weeks on the land. This experience grounds students culturally by connecting them to the land and community - knowing who they are and where they come from.
