Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a Institute (WWNI) Adult Education

Amaa sa,

Wilp Wilxo’oskwhl Nisga’a Institute (W.W.N.I.) Adult Education has partnered with North Island Distance Education School (N.I.D.E.S.) to offer Nisga’a citizens a program to support their journey to a Dogwood Diploma (high school graduation). To enroll in this program students must be:

  • At least 18 years old
  • have been out of school for at least a year at the time of registration.

This program offered at no charge to the student and is funded by the Ministry of Education and Nisga’a Lisims.

The path to graduation will be personalized for each student through a  meeting with a N.I.D.E.S. academic counsellor. If you have been out of school for an extended period of time, your best option may be the adult grad program.

Steps to begin:

  1. Connect with W.W.N.I.. If you have not already done so, you can email the W.W.N.I. coordinator – Teresa McMillan at tmcmillan@wwni.bc.ca.
  2. Register online with N.I.D.E.S. Click here > Link to Registration
