At Robert Service School, in partnership with Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and our school community, we're committed to Connecting Learners and Learning to People and Place. We share and live our lives in a unique and 'resource-rich' international community, which has a special place in understanding Canadian and world history because of the Klondike Gold Rush. We have a highly dedicated and diverse staff supported by a tremendously engaged community that works with us to provide unparalleled opportunities for place-based learning.
Guided by the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in concepts of Tr’ëhude – living in a good way - and - Hǫzǫ łëkʼä̀trʼë̀nòcha – taking good care of each other - we work collaboratively with partners and students to provide quality and, as necessary, adjusted and differentiated learning experiences foundational for each student's school and life-long success.
