Yukon WILD School infuses literacy into most things we do and this will be a core tenant of this program. Using phonemic awareness strategies and high-interest material from the WILD School Library students will further develop their literacy skills.

Inclusive & Special Education
Yukon WILD School embraces all learners and strives to make the forest a place for everyone. Students deserve to feel supported whether they are in the great outdoors or in any other type of learning environment. For this reason, we believe strongly that if your child receives 1-1 support or special interventions at their public school you will need to make arrangements for this support to continue at WILD School. This extra cost is the responsibility of the parents/guardians. There may be funding available to you and assistance in finding the right person. Do not hesitate to reach out. Supporting student success is vital when learning outdoors.
