Introducing

The Pine Ridge Girls' School

The Pine Ridge Girls’ School is an independent, privately funded college-prep school on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Our mission is to radically change the trajectory of Lakota girls’ lives by equipping them with the cultural, spiritual and academic foundations they need for new and promising futures, full of choice and opportunity. We are in our fourth year, with 35 girls, from 6th-9th grades, building a replicable model, reversing the drop-out statistics for Native students, with college enrollment an obvious next step.
