NAA TSIS'AAN

Naa Tsis'aan is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Naa Tsis'aan Community School school district, located in Tonalea, AZ with about 96 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.

**Naa Tsis’aan**, also known as the **Navajo Mountain Boarding School**, is a remote educational institution located in Tonalea, Arizona, within the Navajo Nation. Situated in a culturally rich and geographically isolated area near the base of Navajo Mountain, the school serves a primarily Diné (Navajo) student population. The institution is deeply rooted in the local community, emphasizing the preservation of Navajo language, traditions, and values while delivering standard academic curricula to elementary-aged children.

Because of its remote location, the school plays a vital role as a community hub, providing essential resources and a supportive environment for students living in a rugged, rural landscape. By integrating indigenous knowledge systems with modern educational requirements, Naa Tsis’aan strives to foster student success that is grounded in cultural identity. The school reflects the broader mission of Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools, focusing on holistic development and preparing students to navigate both their traditional heritage and the contemporary world.
