About Us

Comanche Academy is a free, accredited public charter school that strives to provide an inclusive, culturally-sustaining and academically-rigorous education for all students. Our holistic model is student-centered.

Relationship

➳ Kinship Obligation

We are all related, not only to each other as human beings, but to all things – animals, plants, rocks – to the very energy of which stars are made.

 

Responsibility

➳ Community Obligation

This is a commitment to honor our ancestors and future generations that rests on the understanding that we have a sacred responsibility to care for all of our relatives. This includes the responsibility to serve our tribal nations and communities, as well as to mold our citizenry into ideal personalities as human beings.

Reciprocity

➳ Cyclical Obligation

All things are circular, the cycle of seasons, cycle of life, as well as the dynamics between any two entities in a relationship. Reciprocity is shown through giving to the community to sustain cyclical relationships through which all things are related.

 

Resurgence

➳ Nationhood Obligation

This concept reflects the core values of Indigenous governance in all programming and in our commitment to relationships with local communities. Curriculum and program decisions are focused on respecting Indigenous knowledges and land- and water-based practices.
