The Indigenous Community Wellness program prepares students to support Indigenous people within agencies and community organizations that serve Indigenous communities. Students learn to build meaningful relationships and walk alongside service users in wellness, supporting their access to and engagement with programs and services, and becoming ambassadors of wellness within their communities and workplaces.
The Early Learning and Care Diploma program prepares learners to create responsive, nurturing early learning experiences for children and families. Grounded in the belief that children and families are capable and knowledgeable, the program emphasizes relationship-based practice and respect for the diverse identities, cultures, and contexts that shape children's lives.

The W̱¸SENĆOŦEN¸ISTW̱ learning pathway is grounded in the ongoing revitalization of SENĆOŦEN within the W̱SÁNEĆ community. It supports learners to grow as SENĆOŦEN speakers while deepening their understanding of the responsibilities, relationships, and teachings carried within the language. Language learning is approached not only as skill-building, but as a living practice tied to land, culture, and community.
Grounded in W̱SÁNEĆ values, teachings, and community priorities, the W̱SÁNEĆ Post-Degree Professional Program prepares educators to teach with cultural awareness, relational accountability, and respect for Indigenous knowledge systems. Through a partnership with the University of Victoria, students earn a Bachelor of Education degree while developing the skills needed to support learners in diverse educational settings.
