The elementary school utilizes a balanced literacy approach to focus on reading, writing, word recognition, fluency and comprehension in all grades. Students read a wide range of materials. Hands-on science encourages active involvement. Middle school students study speech, computers, language arts, science, math, health enhancement, Lakota culture and Lakota Catholic religion. Culturally sensitive courses allow for the development and growth of each student's spirituality. The quality of the programs is assured through accreditation both by South Dakota and the North Central Association. Red Cloud recognizes a unique responsibility to its Native American students, particularly the Lakota people. The goal of Red Cloud is to infuse Native American culture into every aspect of the school. A full time cultural instructor teaches courses in the elementary school and serves as a consultant to teachers in all grades and subject areas. Students have the opportunity to learn some of the more traditional cultural foundation. |
