We are a school emphasizing an American Indian cultural perspective to provide high-quality education for all.
 
Our school was created from the vision of elders and community members to provide an American Indian perspective and to welcome students of all backgrounds to a diverse school community. Our teaching approach is rooted in American Indian culture, traditions, values, history and art. We have teachers who specialize in the Lakota/Dakota and Ojibwe language and culture, as well as physical education, science and art. Middle school students (6-8) are required to take either Lakota or Ojibwe, preparing them to continue their American Indian studies at Harding Senior High. Our school encourages parent and community involvement through culture fairs, drum and dance, powwows, and special events throughout the year.

 

We offer:

  • PreK (full day)
  • Discovery Club for grades PreK-5 (fee-based, off-site)
  • Indian Youth Enrichment
  • Urban 4-H
  • Extended Day for Learning (EDL)
  • Flipside

  • World Languages: Lakota/Dakota, Ojibwe
