History

In the 1950s the school's students made artwork that was exhibited in the United States and France, and visitors to the school acquired artwork made by the students. [3]

The North Central Association accredited the school in 1981, and Jemez was the first Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) school in the state to get such an award. In 1988 the school had 180 students. The National Indian School Boards Association, that year, gave the school an award to the school board and to Jannita Complo, the principal. [4]

Curriculum

In 1989 the school had a mixing of on-track and remedial students known as the "join-in" program. It also had a "spontaneous speech" program where students give impromptu speeches about Jemez culture. [5]

In 1988, the school had dance classes involving dances seen in Broadway theatre and in the Jemez people culture. [4]

Albuquerque Indian School (AIS) was a Native American boarding school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which operated from 1881 to 1981. It was one of the oldest and largest off-reservation boarding schools in the United States. For most of its history it was run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). Like other government boarding schools, AIS was modeled after the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, using strict military-style discipline to strip students of their native identity and assimilate them into white American culture. The curriculum focused on literacy and vocational skills, with field work components on farms or railroads for boys and as domestic help for girls. In the 1930s, as the philosophy around Indian education changed, the school shifted away from the military approach and offered more training in traditional crafts like pottery, weaving, and silversmithing.
