In a country as diverse as Canada, no single school system could adequately serve all students. Programs vary markedly across the country and even within provinces, as the schools strive to accommodate the vast differences among the students. With a few exceptions, high school students of Native ancestry attend the regular provincial high schools that serve all other Canadians. The number of Native students in any high school is comparatively small, usually comprising no more than 10-12% of the total enrollment. Basically, the Native students undertake the same programs as all others, in one of the three main branches of study--Academic, Business and Commercial, or Vocational and Technical. Along with a core of "required" subjects, the schools offer a wide variety of options. This publication describes the high school programs available to Indian students in Canada. Discussed are the format and philosophies of the Native studies programs, Native language, arts and crafts, field trips, Native participation, general options offered, extracurricular activities, orientation, parental involvement, boarding homes, difficulties encountered--dropouts and social problems, and the reserve high school.
