Masinahikana Online School is officially registered with Saskatchewan Education in partnership with Northern Lights School Division and Northlands Regional College.

Through this initiative, northern residents have an opportunity to continue their education where other avenues have been unavailable or unable to meet individual needs. Many applicants are young adults who have young children and are staying at home. Others have been working and following other pursuits. This online format offers students the flexibility to plan their own personal program and schedule.
Many students have access to support in their home communities and all students are able to contact teachers for additional live online support through web conference sessions.

Students are accepted on a continuous enrolment basis. Students are allowed 180 school days from their start date to complete a course. The students choose their courses and work on a personal development plan for areas such as study skills and career goals.

Enrolled students participate in courses of study based on curriculum guidelines set by the Province of Saskatchewan.
