About KEC

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Kahnawa:ke Education Center  (KEC) was  established in 1980 to administer all locally controlled educational programs and services previously administered by the Federal Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and the Mohawks  of  Kahnawa:ke Council.

The Center  assumed   complete  control  over  all  education  programs and services  in  1988  when  the  administration of the Federal  schools  was  transferred  to  the Kahnawa:ke Combined Schools Committee (KCSC) of parents.

The Center administers and operates three community schools: the Karonhianonhnha Tsi Ionterihwaienstahkhwa School, the Kateri  Tekakwitha  School,   and   the  Kahnawa:ke  Survival  School.     The   Center   also  administers   all  programs  and  services  for  students  attending  elementary  schools,   secondary schools and special institutions in the  greater  Montreal  area  as  well  as  all  students attending post-secondary institutions in Canada and the United States.

The Center is administered and supervised by the Director of Education along with a professional staff who are responsible for student services, curriculum supervision, student assessment and records, professional development, placement and counseling services, school administration supervision, computer technology services, and finances.  The Mohawks of Kahnawa:ke Council administers the school transportation program.

The Center is located in the East wing of Kateri Tekakwitha School.
