Learning Our Way. Leading the Future. Providing second-level services and support to the schools of the Bimose Tribal Council.
Guided by our Education Directors and the Gagiikimaawasowi, the ASA program recognizes miinigoowiziwin (our gifts) to build a foundation of Anishinaabe knowledge and academic excellence.
We provide the specialized tools – from literacy libraries to IT infrastructure – that allow our community schools to deliver high-quality, culturally-rooted education.
Literacy & Numeracy
We focus on measurable improvement in reading, writing, and math through proven programs and teacher support.
We ensure teachers have the best tools (like Jump Math and Mathletics) and the training to use them effectively, making sure every student hits their milestones.
Key Supports:
Literacy
Reading intervention programs, common writing frameworks, and school-based literacy centers.
Numeracy
Problem-solving instructional models, Jump Math, and secondary-level numeracy expansion.
Supporting the Student Journey
Student Access & Success
From student nutrition to high school transitions, we provide the extra-curricular and academic programs that keep students engaged.

Language, Culture & Land-Based Learning
We revitalize our way of life by integrating Anishinaabe language and traditions into every classroom.
Your child’s culture isn’t a separate subject – it is woven into everything. We develop specific curriculum for land-based learning, Treaty education, and Residential School history.
Key Supports:
- Instructional support for Native Language teachers.
- Development of Anishinaabemowin assessment tools.
- Partnership with Science North and the Jays School Affiliate program.
Modern Tools for Modern Learning
Data & IT Support
We manage the “behind-the-scenes” technology that keeps our schools running, from servers to student data.
We make sure the Wi-Fi works, the computers are updated, and teachers know how to use data (via Dadavan) to help students succeed.
Help Desk
Direct IT support via helpdesk@bimose.ca.
Infrastructure
Server maintenance, hardware installation, and Google learning partnerships.
Collaboration
Video-conferencing systems to connect schools and teachers.
The Anishinaabe Student Achievement program is dedicated to uplifting our communities through education, culture, and empowerment. Our mission is to support the growth of individuals and Nations, ensuring they thrive in all aspects of life. We envision a future where knowledge and tradition empower our youth, providing them with the tools to carry forward our heritage.
