Resilience through education
SKC’s programs were created to foster sustainability in small, especially native, communities.
Giving back by nature
PretiumThe curricula of our course work were founded to encourage students to give to something greater.
The 4 C's
Each course at SKC rests upon these concepts. Cultural Awareness, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship.
Resilience
Our college began as a way to ensure Native Americans had access to improve their lives through education. This led naturally to our graduates improving their communities, Native and non-Native. Our programs have been developed with both individuals and communities in mind. We seek to fill voids in the workforce so Native communities are able to populate their workforce from within building resilient, sustainable communities.
Something greater
Among the many tenets of an SKC education is service learning. Several of our courses and programs contain elements of community service. Learning applicable skills within a program of study while serving within the community creates a realistic link to the impact each of our students has.
When our graduates begin their career they understand they are not just going to work. They are attending to the vital needs of their people.
The 4 C's Of An SKC Education
All of SKC’s courses and programs are imbued with the 4 C’s Communication, Critical Thinking, Cultural Understanding, and Citizenship. Our students graduate with the necessary knowledge and skills to perform in their industry, but also apply them more effectively and within a more meaningful context.
