Native American Program

Title VI Native American Indian Education Program

Welcome! The purpose of the Wichita Public Schools Title VI Native American Indian Education Program is to serve Indian students so that they meet or exceed the same challenging state academic achievement standards all students are expected to meet. Our program currently supports over 1,400 Native students who attend USD 259 schools. These students are supported through a variety of academic and cultural activities including tutors who are placed in select elementary schools across the district. The tutors concentrate their efforts on academic assistance, and cultural enrichment.
