  • Kindergarten Teacher
  • Grade 5 Elementary School Teacher
The successful candidates must relocate to Sandy Lake for the duration of the term , fully immersing in the community to better serve and understand our students' needs.

  • Instructing in a manner that develops students' confidence in their abilities
  • Observing and managing classroom dynamic

About You
To qualify for any of the positions, an Ontario teaching certificate is required.

Candidates with a non-Ontario teaching certificate, or those in the process of obtaining one, may still be considered.

As Sandy Lake's faculty member, you must possess a detail-oriented mindset, with excellent problem-solving and instructional skills. Most importantly, your success in engaging students using unique approaches in teaching, will inspire you to mentor them at their fullest potential.

In addition, you will have knowledge of culturally responsive teaching practices, exceptional communication skills, and a natural aptitude for bringing out the best in your students.

Sandy Lake School, a First Nations community school, integrates Indigenous culture, language, and spiritual teachings, shaped by the communitys values. This approach emphasizes culturally respectful religious education, differing from standard public schools in Ontario. Therefore, experience and comfort teaching various religious topics, including Christianity, from a neutral and culturally respectful perspective, is essential.

Knowledge of First Nations culture and experience with First Nations students is an asset.

About Sandy Lake First Nation
Neh gaaw saga'igan is the local translation of Sandy Lake, where the people traditionally and continues to live off the abundance of land as hunters and gatherers. Though wild game is still a staple in the diets of many, today the people of Sandy Lake enjoy games and sports such as hockey, volleyball, softball, taekwondo, golf, and other modern sports. 

Located 450 km northeast of Winnipeg and 600 km northwest of Thunder Bay, we are a remote, fly-in First Nation community located in the boreal forested area of Northwestern Ontario along the Severn River. Beautiful landscapes surround our community, giving our people the opportunity for outdoor and social activities all-year-round. In the summer, we go hunting, hiking, kayaking, and fishing. In the winter, we go ice fishing, play ice hockey, and marvel at the beautiful northern lights above our open skies. Getting in and out of Sandy Lake is very convenient, with daily flights chartered by Wasaya Airways and Perimeter Aviations, from multiple cities and towns in Winnipeg and Ontario.
