Mission Statement

The Southern Ute Indian Montessori Academy will provide a strong educational foundation to preserve and share the Southern Ute Indian culture and language within a Montessori environment.

Vision Statement

To provide an environment that creates future tribal and world leaders who appreciate and support their culture, language, family, and lifelong learning.



The goal of early education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.
