NISN's mission is to transform Indigenous education by engaging communities, building networked schools of academic excellence and cultural relevance, and serving Native American students from early learning to adulthood so that they are secure in their identity, healthy, and holistically prepared as lifelong learners and leaders in their communities.NISN's impact strategy is to be the first school incubator and network of high-performing schools dedicated solely to Native American/Indigenous education, eventually reaching to high-need Native communities across the western United States. Through the schools in its network, NISN seeks to reimagine what Indigenous education and the school experience can be for Native students by creating schools of academic excellence and cultural relevance.
