Qarġi Academy, which currently serves students from the ninth to 12th grades, will expand to sixth grade starting next fall — with even bigger aspirations on the horizon.
It’s been 43 years since Wainwright resident Marlene Okakok first tried to complete her high school diploma. Now, at age 63, she is about to graduate.
“Our official language is Iñupiat. Everything we do has that base culture of Iñupiat,” said Mark Roseberry, director of education at Iñupiat Community of the Arctic Slope, the regional Alaska Native tribal government. “The whole feel of the school is culturally appropriate and relevant education that aligns with the community.”
Besides graduating from the academy, Okakok is also one of the Ilisaqtitchiriit there. As a fluent Iñupiaq speaker, she was an ideal candidate to pass on traditional knowledge to students. Founding the academy was envisioned as a way to support Iñupiaq students who weren’t succeeding in the traditional school environment, by providing them with culturally responsive education, said Morrie Lemen, executive director of Iñupiat Community of the Arctic Slope.
A personalized learning plan also works for students who prefer to study at their own pace and have other obligations, which was the case for Leonard Olson. we monitor them. We encourage them to ask questions. When a student raises their hand we help them right away.”
