Statement of Philosophy

The children of the Piapot Cree Nation (Piapot) are of the utmost importance to our community. It is our intention each child should receive a quality education which is a Treaty Right. This education will develop the child’s cultural identity, academic potential, encourage physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and develop good citizenship and good values.

Each person is equally worthy in the eyes of the Creator and deserves an equal chance to succeed and to have a happy and fulfilling life.
