The **Beaufort Delta Divisional Education Council (BDDEC)**, also referred to as BDEC, is the most northerly public school board in Canada's Northwest Territories, overseeing nine schools across eight remote communities located north of the Arctic Circle.[2][5] Headquartered in Inuvik, a community of approximately 3,500 residents, it serves around 1,400 to 1,508 students with 328 administrators, teachers, and support staff.[1][2][6] BDDEC operates as a divisional education council governed by an elected board of 11 members, including representatives from each District Education Authority (DEA), the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, and the Gwich’in Tribal Council.[2][5] Its schools offer programming from Junior Kindergarten (JK) through Grade 12, with variations by site: for example, East Three Elementary in Inuvik covers JK-6, East Three Secondary serves Grades 7-12, and others like Moose Kerr School in Aklavik and Inualthuyak School in Sachs Harbour provide JK-12.[1] The curriculum emphasizes local Indigenous languages, including Gwich’in in communities like Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic, Inuvialuktun in Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk, and French Immersion from Kindergarten to Grade 9 in Inuvik.[1] All schools incorporate on-the-land programming to foster cultural relevance.[1] BDDEC's strategic plan prioritizes improvements in literacy, numeracy, Indigenous languages, and social responsibility, while developing a five-year vision for sustainable student growth.[2] Recognized as a forward-thinking, community-driven authority, BDDEC promotes inclusive, culturally rich education in collaboration with regional Indigenous partners.[4][7]
