Overview

Located in the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach, 15 kilometres from Schefferville, Québec, Jimmy Sandy Memorial School (JSMS) is the centerpiece for Education in Kawawachikamach. We welcome Naskapi beneficiaries from all grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to Secondary 5 (Grade 11), and Adult and Vocational Education. Uniquely, JSMS offers Naskapi immersion to students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 2, at which point students begin English instruction and Naskapi becomes a subject.

Teaching in the Naskapi First Nation school in Kawawachikamach is a unique and rewarding experience. Teachers have the opportunity to be creative and to use their skills to support the growth of Naskapi Education. Teachers at JSMS also have access to amazing outdoor adventures and the opportunity to participate in land-based cultural activities alongside their students, team members, and community. A teaching position at JSMS supports the Naskapi Nation’s access to education. 

The Central Québec School Board values diversity as an essential part of who we are and how we move forward. We believe attracting, developing, and retaining people who reflect this diversity is essential to our success.
