Education

Black Lake is home to the Father Porte Memorial Dene School (FPMDS) which provides instruction from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Over the past 20 years, FPMDS has had a range in size of graduating classes, from no graduates in 1999-2000 to 23 graduates in 2011-2013. Currently, the school has approximately 56 staff and about 440 students. There is a fast growing youth population in the community, which has become a challenge for the school as the facility was built to accommodate smaller numbers.  In 2015, portable classrooms were commissioned and transported to the community to help the school accommodate additional students.
