A Message From the Director of Distance Learning

Hello Moms and Dads.  

If you’re looking for a school team to help you provide your kids with a superb education from home, we invite you to consider Chatham School District.   


We serve 4 communities from our own district (Angoon, Gustavus, Klukwan, and Tenakee Springs), and we also serve students statewide. If you live in any Alaska community, we can serve your students.

Chatham has room for a few more students to join our program. If you’d like a chance at one of our seats for the 2023-2024 school year, let’s talk.  We may be a good fit for your interests and needs.


Why Chatham Distance Learning?

  • Our correspondence / homeschool provides generous student allotments and the support and guidance parents need to teach their children. 

  • From Kindergarten to rigorous AP classes for high school students, you have options.

  • We offer place-based, Alaska-specific classes, as well as courses with cohorts all over the nation and world. 

  • We are a public school, and all Alaskan students attend free of charge, with the flexibility and freedom that comes with working from home. 

We would love to chat more with you about options; please contact us so we may help create the education plan that fits your student just right.
