Box 169 Barrow, AK 99723 The NSBSD is committed to building a strong foundation of cultural identity, pride and esteem that supports Iñupiaq students' mental, physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual development. We strive to establish an education that is firmly grounded in Iñupiaq values, language and culture while meeting the State standards. At the elementary level, children whose parents opt to have them in the Iñupiaq Language Program, are placed in an Iñupiaq as a Second Language setting with instruction occurring for a duration of anywhere from 20-30 minutes per day. Parents who live in Barrow also have the option of placing their children in the Iñupiaq Immersion Program where instruction is delivered in Iñupiaq from preschool through third grade. Children who are in the middle school in Barrow receive instruction in the Iñupiaq language for an uninterrupted duration of 80 minutes per session alternating classes every other day. Secondary school students receive instruction as an elective. From our main office in Barrow we provide support services such as Inupiaq language materials and staff development.
