Classes at the Aleutian / Pribilof Center

Classes are offered locally as well as via distance. The Center staff provides support to students taking either type of class.

Above; students taking an audio conference chemistry course come to the center for the classwork.

Classes are offered in a variety of areas; here are examples of courses that were offered locally, in addition to audio classes, during the 2000-2001 academic year.

Most of these local courses are offered in partnerships with our four school districts; the City of Unalaska, Parks and Rec, the Police Department, the Amiq Institute, APICDA, and other local organizations.

You can learn more about this local craft and some of the work being done to keep it alive in an article written by Jerah Chadwick for the "Sharing our Pathways" newsletter, click here.

 

Computer classes are taught using a portable laptop lab.

This allows the computer to be shipped to villages served by the region and used for classes, where otherwise there would be no availability.
