Philosophy of Neqweyqwelsten School –
We believe that education is the process of becoming knowledgeable about oneself and the world. Education is a holistic, life-long endeavor, which supports students' intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual and physical development. We believe that every individual is unique and capable. We believe that learning comes most easily to children who have pride in themselves, their culture and their community.
We support our children in becoming self-aware and independently able.
We believe that this education will develop positive attitudes and well grounded understandings, which will enable our children to act in ways that strengthen their relationships with themselves, their families, and the world.
We believe that this education will enable them to contribute to the preservation of the natural environment and well being of all people.

Staff Mission Statement 2011 –
This describes the staff’s understanding of the purpose of Neqweyqwelsten School:
Principal’s Message
2014/2015
This will be a busy year, once again, with the addition of our School Assessment Project underway. This requires the school, with the support of parents, to do a review of all aspects of the school to set goals for improvement for the next five years.
The Neqweyqwelsten family is able to celebrate that students are sharing their knowledge of Secwepemctsin during community celebrations and are achieving excellent results on their standardized tests. This is strong evidence that the pillars of quality instruction, connections with families and maintaining high expectations for learning are well established in the school.
The Authority and Staff missions are brought to life, daily, in the school and in the homes.
