SNP was founded to provide greater access to post-secondary education for Indigenous peoples.

On June 26, 2009 – the Indigenous Knowledge Centre and Ogweho:weh Diploma Programs [Gayogohó:non-Cayuga and Kayenkeha -Mohawk] were publicly launched with the signing of the Six Nations and McMaster University Collaborative Agreement.

Six Nations Polytechnic offers programs and courses of study in partnership with all levels of government; commissions; industries; commerce and post-secondary institutions.

The Six Nations Achievement Centre was founded in 1993 as a community-based agency providing adults with tutoring in Literacy and Basic Skills, in a culturally sensitive manner to increase their academic skills for entry into higher level of education and/or to obtain employment.

The funding is provided by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Literacy and Basic Skills Branch.
