School District 87 operates within the unceded traditional territories of the Tahltan, Kaska and Tlingit First Nations and we honour these relationships. We respect and value the relationships with all other First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples who reside in these territories. This land has always been a place of learning and we are thankful to live, work, and learn here. It is with respectful consideration that the programs and services provided to students and staff acknowledge their histories, cultural contributions, and contemporary concerns.

If you are a BC Certified Teacher and would like to live in a small remote northern community then Atlin School is the place for you. Atlin is home to the Taku River Tlingit First Nation and you will have the privilege to learn about Tlingit culture and traditions. There are many places to explore and experience adventures within Atlin and throughout the Stikine Region. Most residents go fishing, hiking, snowshoeing, canoeing, kayaking, snowmobiling, hunting, quadding, boating, skiing, mountain biking and much more.

Atlin is located approximately 175 KM (2.5 hours drive) south of Whitehorse, YT, and offers a family-oriented lifestyle with affordable living. Atlin School is a K-12 school with small class sizes which provide an excellent opportunity for differentiated instruction and learning. This is a positive professional growth opportunity as SD87 continuously explores innovative practices within an inquiry-based teaching and learning environment that honours Tlingit ways of knowing, being and doing.
