Vision Statement:
First Peoples House of Learning (FPHL) is honoured to offer cultural services to a diverse community of Indigenous learners (First Nations, Status/Non-Status, Métis and Inuit). We collaborate with students to support their academic success, personal development and leadership potential.
FPHL embodies the Indigenous worldview of education as a ceremony of learning. We nurture a community that recognizes the voices and spirits of our students.
