About

OUR APPROACH

The Department blends the best of both worlds—combining rigorous educational standards with the richness of our Native traditions.

Our holistic approach supports the growth of well-rounded individuals who are not only equipped for success in the western world but also grounded in the values, language, and heritage of their ancestors.

When it comes to programming, the sky’s the limit. At the same time, we recognize that the needs of the community come first. That’s why, after thoughtful consideration, our community has come together to define four core values that guide everything we do:
