Strategic Transformation of Education Plan (STEP)
Kayenta Boarding School has implemented the Strategic Transformation of Education Plan initiative – a digital learning portal with a blended learning approach. Our students can maximize this opportunity by accessing the digital learning portal with a 1:1 student-laptop usage ratio. This approach gives our students the advantage of integrated applications, and a robust learning strategy.
Kayenta Boarding School's team of dedicated educators are committed to the growth and development of your children – tomorrow’s leaders.
