Full-Day Kindergarten Pilot Program

The Department of Education is introducing full-day kindergarten across Nunavut beginning with a pilot in five schools during the 2023-2024 school year. The schools participating are:

  • Nanook School, Apex
  • Qaqqalik School, Kimmirut
  • Victor Sammurtok School, Chesterfield Inlet
  • Inuglak School, Whale Cove
  • Jimmy Hikok Ilihakvik, Kugluktuk

The 2023-2024 Full-Day Kindergarten Pilot is the first step to help guide a phased system-wide rollout.

Lessons learned from the pilot will be used to inform the department’s long-term plan and ensure the sustainable implementation of full-day kindergarten across all Nunavut schools.
