Why do Alaska high-schoolers choose GILA?...
1 OPPORTUNITY: GILA is an accredited high school program, FREE to any Alaska resident student (age 15-19) in grades 9 through 12. Focused studies allow students to pursue a variety of career pathways such as small engine repair, UAV piloting, welding, nursing, and more!
2 COMMUNITY: Students are given the opportunity to co-exist in a residential community with over 200 other peers!
3 SKILL-BUILDING: Having a specialized skill is invaluable—and offers advancement to higher education or entry into popular job fields. GILA graduates have landed excellent careers in study-related industries, and we’re proud to report that many of our students take these skills back to their villages and small towns across Alaska.
5
4 CULTURAL EXPERIENCES: Speaking of skills... GILA students not only build academic portfolios, but also gain experiences that build character and knowledge of local traditions that are weaved into our extracurriculars and programs.
CTE INDUSTRY PATHWAYS:
• HEALTH SCIENCE
• AUTO MECHANICS
• DRONE AVIATION
• COMPUTER SCIENCE
• COSMETOLOGY
• CONSTRUCTION TRADES
5 “IT’S REALLY FUN!” Our students tell us some of their favorite takeways are life-long friendships established while at GILA. From bonding while ice fishing on the frozen Yukon—or around the bonfire after skinning a moose, the experiences at GILA are unmatched!
