Koyuk-Malimiut School

Koyuk-Malimiut School, located in the remote coastal village of Koyuk, Alaska, serves as the educational hub for the local community within the Bering Strait School District. As a K-12 institution, the school plays a vital role in preserving the cultural heritage of the Iñupiat people while providing a standard academic curriculum.

The school is committed to preparing its students for success both within and beyond the village, focusing on small class sizes and personalized instruction. By utilizing resources provided by the Bering Strait School District, Koyuk-Malimiut School offers a range of programs designed to meet state educational standards while addressing the unique logistical and social needs of a rural Alaskan village.
