"Rigor, Relevance, & Relationships yield

Character, Confidence, & Competence"

Welcome to North Gem

   We are located in Bancroft, Idaho, which is in the Gem Valley of Southeastern Idaho. We serve the public education needs of families living from Lund to Chesterfield, and sometimes beyond.  We serve about 225 preschool through 12th grade students in one school. We are governed by a five member Board of Trustees elected by the patrons of our district.

   Our mission is to develop character, confidence, and competence in our students.  Our vision to accomplish this involves developing an encouraging environment that contains rigorous curricula, which will aid students as they increase their capacity for learning. Our vision also involves helping students understand the relevance of what they are learning, as it applies to "the real world". Another vital part of our vision is nurturing positive, life-long relationships between the students, families, educators and the community as a whole.
