Nestled between Second and Third Mesas on the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona, Hopi Mission School is a small, private Christian elementary school affiliated with Mennonite Church USA and American Baptist Churches USA. The school was founded in 1951. The student body is small in numbers but the devotion for each other is great. This small school provides a community within its walls and creates a great learning environment. The students are given individual attention due to the small class size allowing them added opportunities. Many of the students come from strong traditional families, yet the families support the teaching of Christian values.
