Dual Immersion Program
One of our significant achievements is the introduction of the Lakȟóta Dual Immersion Program. In 2019, we launched the first Lakȟóta Dual Immersion Class for kindergarten students, where subjects are predominantly taught in Lakȟóta, with some instruction in English. Today, our students are fully immersed in Lakȟóta from kindergarten to fifth grade, and we are actively working towards expanding the program to higher grades. The results have been remarkable – even after just a few months of instruction, some of our kindergarten students are already reading and completing their schoolwork in Lakȟóta.
Through the Lakȟóta Dual Immersion Program and our comprehensive curriculum, we are fostering a deeper connection between our students and their culture and spiritual identity. This connection not only enhances their academic outcomes but also instills a sense of pride and belonging.
Join us in our efforts to revitalize the Lakȟóta language, celebrate our vibrant cultural heritage, and empower future generations with the gift of fluency in their ancestral tongue. Together, we can ensure the preservation and continued thriving of the Lakȟóta language for years to come.
