Denali Borough School District

Denali Borough School District serves communities along the Parks Highway corridor through Anderson School, Cantwell School, and Tri-Valley School in Healy (whose attendance boundary extends to McKinley Village, Panginue, and Ferry). Local school enrollment is completed directly through the district portal.

For independent learners, Denali PEAK operates as a statewide K–12 public correspondence homeschool program offering year-round rolling admissions. Enrolled families work one-on-one with certified advisor teachers to create a Culturally Responsive Educational Work-plan, utilizing accredited digital curricula, textbooks, and district-issued computers. Denali PEAK follows its own correspondence calendar, allowing families to establish customized learning timelines independent of local brick-and-mortar school schedules.
