MAGNET FOCUS: Strong emphasis on academic achievement and cultural activities incorporating the use of Ojibwe language and culture. American Indian language and culture is at the center of all the teaching and learning at Anishinabe Academy. Meshing together the IFL Principles of Learning with traditional Seven Ways of Knowing, the school works to develop students who are critical thinkers and know who they are. Every teacher works hard to be intentional about pushing each student while deepening a relationship with them.
