Indian Education

Welcome to an exciting new era in Montana Indian Education. It is a significant moment in history that provides an opportunity for each of us to participate in the creation of a progressive and successful model of Indian Education. Other states are looking to Montana as a leader in these efforts as we strive to make the promise of Indian Education for All a reality, and as we work to ensure that Indian students are offered an opportunity for a quality education.

The Office of Public Instruction Indian Education Program works in two primary areas: (1) implementing Indian Education for All and (2) closing the American Indian achievement gap. This website includes an abundance of information on both issues and will be frequently updated with new and important information, so check back often.
