Akhiok School

Welcome to Akhiok School,

home of the Eagles!

Steve Flink (Akhiok teacher Nicole Voorhees' father)  visited Akhiok and worked with students to create this fabulous stained glass work of art that is proudly showcased in the school.

Located on the southern coast of Kodiak Island, Akhiok School is the most distant village on the island. Akhiok School offers a comprehensive kindergarten through twelfth grade educational program. The Alutiiq community of Akhiok is rich in sea life and land animals and was originally a sea otter hunting settlement, founded by early Russian settlers. Akhiok enjoys a strong Russian Orthodox heritage. A subsistence lifestyle exists in Akhiok and significant pride is associated with its maintenance. Parents and residents of Akhiok stress the importance of a good education upon their children.

Akhiok School is committed to KIBSD's Philosophy of Education:

The Kodiak Island Borough School District has a compelling obligation to be responsive to the needs of our community and society. The members of the Kodiak Island Borough School District governing Board establish policy, hire personnel, and develop annual budgets and plan facilities needed to implement a successful public school program.

The Kodiak Island Borough School District respects the educational right of each student and is charged with providing the best possible cost-effective program for all students. Our emphasis is placed on excellence, which seeks to instill a desire to keep learning, to be self-motivated and self-disciplined, and to believe in one's self-worth.
