Diomede School

Diomede School is located on Little Diomede Island, Alaska, a remote island nestled in the Bering Strait, situated just 0.6 kilometers from the International Date Line. The school serves the small Inupiat community, which has an estimated population of 80 residents, providing educational resources and a vital connection for the isolated population.

The island's unique geography and limited access make it a special place; it is primarily composed of granite and quartz monzonite, with rugged terrain and minimal vegetation. Travel to Little Diomede can be challenging, with only a few helicopter flights available each month, and no traditional lodging, as visitors are encouraged to stay with locals or at the school itself.
