ABOUT US         

Rooted in Schelangen

Connected to Culture, Community, and Land

Lummi Nation School is rooted in Schelangen—the Lummi Way of Life—where learning is holistic, relational, and deeply connected to culture, community, and the land. We believe education extends beyond the classroom, living in stories, shared experiences, and the wisdom passed down through generations. Through strong academics, culturally grounded teaching, and meaningful relationships, we create an environment where every student is seen, supported, and challenged. We are committed to helping students grow into confident leaders and lifelong learners—while honoring who they are and where they come from.

Our Differentiators

Culturally Rooted Learning

Our students learn through Schelangen, connecting classroom content to Lummi values, traditions, and identity. Culture is not an add-on—it is woven into daily learning, helping students stay grounded in who they are while exploring the world around them.

Whole-Child Support

We prioritize the academic, social, and emotional well-being of every student. With caring staff, small learning communities, and wraparound supports, students are known, supported, and encouraged to thrive in every aspect of their growth.

Community Connection

Learning extends beyond the classroom through field trips, partnerships, and real-world experiences. Students engage with their community, build leadership skills, and represent Lummi Nation with pride while preparing for future pathways.
