The North Slope Borough School District (NSBSD) is a public school district serving the North Slope Borough of Alaska, the northernmost municipality in the United States. Established to provide education services to communities across the Arctic region of Alaska, the district operates schools in eight communities: Anaktuvuk Pass, Atqasuk, Kaktovik, Nuiqsut, Point Hope, Point Lay, Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), and Wainwright. The district is unique in its focus on preserving and promoting Iñupiaq culture and language alongside standard academic curriculum. NSBSD implements bilingual education programs and cultural integration initiatives to maintain the heritage of its predominantly Alaska Native student population. The district serves approximately 2,000 students across its facilities, making it one of the larger rural school districts in Alaska. NSBSD faces distinct challenges due to its remote Arctic location, including extreme weather conditions and geographical isolation. The district employs modern technology and distance learning tools to enhance educational opportunities for its students. It maintains partnerships with various organizations to provide comprehensive education services, including vocational training and college preparation programs. The district operates under the oversight of the North Slope Borough School Board and receives funding through state, federal, and local sources.
