Six Year Adoption Cycle

To adequately support student learning, Lummi Nation School has adopted a five-year cycle of curriculum review, with program adoption during the sixth year. This format ensures that programs have the opportunity to operate with fidelity and accurately portray student growth potential. If warranted, a program can be reviewed on an earlier cycle at the discretion of Lummi Nation School Administration or the Lummi Education Board.

Elementary Curriculum

Our elementary curriculum builds a strong academic foundation while reflecting Schelangen—our way of life. Students engage in literacy, math, science, and health through hands-on, culturally connected learning that supports both skill development and identity. Instruction is designed to meet diverse learning needs while fostering curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning.
