Best practices in public schooling in Grants, New Mexico

The NACA-Inspired Schools Network (NISN) is located at 924 Park Avenue Southwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. This institution is dedicated to reimagining Indigenous education by creating schools that are relevant to the communities they serve. NISN works with fellows who are committed to Indigenous communities to establish schools in New Mexico and across the country. These schools aim to produce strong leaders who are academically prepared, secure in their identities, and healthy, ultimately transforming their communities. NISN offers apprentice opportunities at Network Schools, providing fellows with the chance to establish charter, grant, independent, or public schools based on the NISN model. These schools are located in areas with high Indigenous populations that are underserved or have high numbers of low-income populations. Community input is essential in the design and operation of these schools, involving tribes, families, students, and local leaders.
