School Overview
Ojo Encino Day School is a Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) grant-funded school located in the rural community of Cuba, New Mexico. Situated within the Eastern Agency of the Navajo Nation, the school serves as a central hub for the local community, providing educational opportunities for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The institution is deeply committed to the cultural and academic development of its students, emphasizing the integration of Navajo language, traditions, and values alongside a rigorous standard curriculum.
