OUR MISSION

The mission of the Nelson Island School and community is to ensure that students master basic academic, cultural, and vocational skills, become fluent in both Yup'ik and English, and demonstrate self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance and the necessary life skills that enable them to be successful.

Welcome!

Welcome to Nelson Island School in Toksook Bay, Alaska. We are located on Nelson Island, and our community is a coastal village known for its dancing, culture, and fishing. According to the 2020 census, our population is 654.

Our school of approximately 200 students is served by 18 teachers. Our mascot is the Islander, and we have a great athletic and academic reputation.
