Why St. Michael Indian School

Our mission is to provide students from local Native American communities with a quality education that is rooted in Catholic values, is sensitive to native heritage, teaches leadership skills, and enables students to contribute in a culturally diverse world. We achieve our mission through a comprehensive and well-balanced approach. Our curriculum is complemented by faith formation, fostering a holistic educational experience. We encourage students to explore their interests through a variety of clubs, sports, and service opportunities, promoting personal growth and a sense of community responsibility.

The St. Michael Indian School community is characterized by an encouraging, supportive, and diverse atmosphere. Our dedicated faculty is committed to the success of every student, and our championship athletic programs, along with enriching music and art education, contribute to a vibrant learning environment. In addition to our existing strengths, we have introduced a special focus on STREAM education (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), enhancing our curriculum to prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly evolving world. Our students are not only academically ready to meet high standards but are also empowered to achieve their personal best.

As a testament to our commitment, our prepared graduates consistently pursue higher education opportunities nationwide, with many attending top universities such as Cornell and Dartmouth with most graduates choosing state universities, community colleges, and trade schools, earning scholarship awards that cover full tuition. Many of our alumni continue their academic journey by pursuing Master’s and Doctorate degrees.

At St. Michael Indian School, we believe in nurturing not only academic excellence but also the holistic development of individuals who are equipped to make meaningful contributions to society.
