Only through education can we hope to build strong individuals and nations which can meet the needs of our future generations.

Vision
To provide a continuum of quality education services that promotes lifelong learning for the Saginaw Chippewa Community.
Our Mission Statement
As tribal people, we view the world differently from others and therefore our needs are unique. Many of our tribal members move between two distinct worlds daily as they pursue continuing education or employment. As the Tribal Education Department we strive to bridge the gap between these worlds and help tribal members of all ages to be successful through a wide array of services. We remain sensitive to the unique cultural needs of our members by designing programs which are immersed in our cultural heritage and learning styles. It is our innate knowledge of how we live and learn which enables us to provide practical programs to our community. Our services begin in early childhood and continue throughout graduate study at public colleges and universities.
We now have the SCA Handbook available

Tribal Education Advisory Board (TEAB)
The TEAB serves the Tribal members by enacting policies that oversee culture based programming meant to promote and support lifelong learning for the Tribal community. Tribal Education Advisory Board members are appointed by Tribal Council, serving staggered terms of two to four years, with officers elected annually.
