We at Rotiwennakehte Immersion / Aronhiatékha School are here to prepare your Child for a successful future. Our mission is to provide a challenging academic program which children develop their potential. We incorporate their cultural identity, promote respect for self, others and community and deliver our program within a safe, nurturing environment. We have groupings in cycles rather than grades as suggested by the Quebec Education Reform. Our students have 2 years to develop and master the competencies for each cycle. Our program of studies is comparable to the Q.E.P and we include Mohawk Language & Culture. We have a program that is based on everyday life.





Our vision is to create a safe, caring, and culturally rich environment that will ensure success for all students, foster a strong sense of self as a Kanienkeha:ka, and a positive outlook for their future.
