Taos Day School is a Bureau of Indian Education (BIE)-operated K-8 school,[1] located in Taos Pueblo, New Mexico.[2]

History

In 1996 the school established a pen pal program for indigenous students worldwide, using the internet, in conjunction with the La Plaza Telecommunity Center.[3]

Patricia Kessler started her term as principal circa 2000. Around that time, the school lacked key technology, and Kessler stated that a unified set of curricula had not yet been established. In 2010 the school became the BIE school of the year.[4]

Kessler retired in 2014.[4]

Advanced ED accredited the school in 2015. In 2015 Alfred E. Taylor became the principal.[5]
