Thomas Simpson School has a high graduation rate, offering a full range of academic and general courses. The student population is almost entirely Dene, Metis or Inuvialuit. Over and above academics the school has many extra curricular sports teams, a large cadet corps, and a close relationship with Skills Canada.

Many TSS students have won the opportunity to participate in national competitions after competing at the regional levels.

About The Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative

The Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative (MAEI) was established in 2008 in order to initiate a variety of educational projects designed to provide Aboriginal Canadians with the opportunities they need to succeed. MAEI brings together Aboriginal organizations, the business community, post-secondary institutions, First Nation schools and provincially and territorially-funded school boards to implement programs to support Aboriginal students. Our goal is to implement initiatives that improve education at the elementary and secondary school levels for Aboriginal Canadians. MAEI believes that the development of knowledge and skills will provide Aboriginal youth with an incentive to continue their education. Projects are chosen in discussion with the pertinent Aboriginal leadership, provincial and territorial education authorities, and local business communities.
