Yukon-Koyukuk School District Calendar 2026-2027

Yukon-Koyukuk School District serves nine remote community schools along the Yukon, Koyukuk, and Tanana rivers while administering Raven Homeschool, one of Alaska's largest statewide correspondence programs. Raven families collaborate with certified advisory teachers to construct personalized Individual Learning Plans, choosing between digital curricula, traditional textbooks, or blended materials. Full-time correspondence enrollment requires a minimum of four courses, maintaining a balance between core academics and electives. Raven's academic calendar opens on July 1, enabling families to begin coursework during summer months.

At the river village schools, students in grades K–4 participate in daily 30-minute Native language and culture classes, with continuing language electives available for grades 5–12.

Career and technical education (CTE) provides river-school and homeschool students with intensive hands-on training in construction, heavy equipment operation, and industrial welding. Students apply for selective regional CTE training camps, utilizing the district's residential dormitories when traveling from remote home villages to centralized Interior training centers.
