Jenna Hieb and Robyn Knecht from St Joseph’s Indian School. They talked with us about the Transition Process and Services at their school. So many things that I didn't know.
Education and Services
No tuition is charged and St. Joseph's Indian School provides for all the needs of approximately 200 Native American students. Everything from food and clothing to education, counseling and healthcare is provided.
Loving houseparents live in the homes with
12 children. With a 6:1 student adult ratio, the children receive quality care and attention. We have 20 student homes.
Our elementary school has small class sizes (12 students) and one-on-one attention. The students are taught all of the basics along with Lakota Studies and religious education.
Our high school students attend Chamberlain High School and receive support of houseparents and group home living on St. Joseph's campus. In high school, the Native American students take part in a variety of activities and are integrated into a culturally diverse atmosphere to encourage future success.
