Practicing American Indian Values

Established in 2014, our school has child-centered, self-directed, and experiential-based learning programs acknowledging all children as spiritual embryos who need to be respected and guided. We cultivate a child’s natural desire to learn by blending the child-rearing practices and values of the American Indian community with the Montessori method of education.
