Learners in Wabanaki Languages classes acquire the skills necessary to communicate with others for a variety of purposes while learning that language is more than everyday conversational exchanges. Language is alive. It teaches the past and informs the present. Wabanaki language learning seeks to ensure that Wabanaki learners are proud of their culture. Through language, the worldviews, ceremonies, teachings, and philosophy of Wabanaki Peoples are preserved, revived, and restored to their rightful places.

Enhancement language programming is available in schools in Anglophone School Districts North and West that serve learners from a First Nation community.

*Please note that while dedicated language classes are offered in Enhancement schools for Wabanaki learners, all educators are encouraged to include Wabanaki languages in their instruction.
