EKCS is a free public school for students in grades 7-12 who are looking for a small size, rigorous academics, and indigenous and contemporary knowledge.
This free public school is for Native and non-Native students in grades 7-12 who are looking for a small school focusing on rigorous academics, an early start to college, individual and contemporary knowledge. While the school is grounded in Alaska Native cultural beliefs and values, we focus on all students, no matter what their cultural background, helping them learn and value their own culture.

🏔️❄️ Effie students recently traveled to Juneau for the Student Government Conference — combining leadership, connection, and unforgettable Alaska experiences.
From collaborating with other student leaders to exploring the incredible beauty of Southeast Alaska, students had the opportunity to grow both inside and outside the conference sessions. Highlights included visiting the breathtaking Mendenhall Glacier, exploring the harbor, and building memories together along the way.
Experiences like these help students strengthen confidence, leadership skills, and community while reminding us just how incredible our state truly is. 💛

🇺🇸 Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.
Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it is a time to reflect on sacrifice, courage, and the freedoms we enjoy because of those who chose to serve others before themselves.
At Effie Kokrine Charter School, we honor the memories of those who never made it home and extend our gratitude to the families who carry that sacrifice forward every day.
May we take a moment today to remember, reflect, and give thanks. ❤️🤍💙
