Kwanlin Dun House of Learning

Although we have been unable to complete a full program profile, we would like to give an honourable mention to the Kwanlin Dun House of Learning, located in Whitehorse, Yukon. It is one of only two Aboriginal-managed institutions running literacy and upgrading with adult Aboriginal learners identified by this initiative. The House of Learning is managed by Kwanlin Dun First Nation as part of its community-wide training plan, and offers a full-time program of Developmental Studies to adult members of the nation. Developmental Studies courses provide English, math and optional credits and take adult learners from the primary level right through to the GED. Drop-in tutoring for upgrading learners is also available in the evenings. The House of Learning attempts to adapt the Developmental Studies curriculum, developed by Yukon College, to better meet the needs, interests and perspective of Aboriginal adult learners.
