Welcome to Kluane Lake School
We are a K4 to Grade 12 school located in Destruction Bay, on the shores of Kluane Lake. We may be small but we don’t let that stop us from exploring big ideas. We are committed to integrating land based learning, Southern Tutchone language and community exploration into our classrooms and school.
We acknowledge and respect that we live and work by the shores of Kluane Lake which reaches the St. Elias and Ruby Mountain ranges, A si keyi – My Grandfather’s Country – the traditional territory of the Lhù’ààn Mân Ku Dań, the Kluane Lake People.
