The dream of Dream Diné Charter School is to create a world-class Indigenous-centered educational program to ensure that our children and communities thrive.
Our school strives to nurture strong, compassionate, bilingual young people who are committed to their personal and community health, wellness, relationships and progress.
The impact of these young people will ripple throughout our nation.
Our Mission
Dream Diné Charter School provides an experiential education rooted in Diné philosophy and language, empowering students to achieve academic success and contribute to their communities.
Our goal is to matriculate bilingual students who:
-
- Can communicate fluently in both Navajo and English, in academic, social and political settings;
- Have first-hand experience in applying cultural knowledge to address challenges facing their own communities;
- Carry a strong sense of identity that allows them to pursue college, careers, and community service.
Community Expectations
Our youth today are held to incredibly high expectations by their families, teachers, communities, tribe and nation.
These expectations include:
Our Responsibility
If we are asking our youth to be grounded in traditional cultural knowledge while simultaneously preparing to enter the modern global economy then it is our responsibility to create innovative systems of education that are both rigorous and practical.
