Ya’at’eeh!  Welcome and thank you for visiting the Navajo Preparatory School web site. As the Dean of Instruction, I have the task of continuing the grand tradition that is the cornerstone of the school’s foundation: academic achievement. At Navajo Prep School, in Farmington, NM, we have created an exceptional academic program that is delivered within a cooperation of educators and learners. 

Navajo Preparatory School is defined by its academic strength, dedication to the Navajo philosophy of learning, and its commitment to creating contributing members to our expanding global community. The academic faculty holds high expectations and instills personal responsibility for our student learners.

Led by our excellent faculty, the students at Navajo Preparatory School advance from high school to college. At every step, self-determination, investigation, and challenge go to the spirit of the Navajo Preparatory School experience. 

I invite you to become part of the Navajo Preparatory School family. Your dreams are our dreams of success. Thank you.

John C Tohtsoni Jr.
Dean of Instruction

Our Mission:

The School is established to educate talented and motivated college-bound Navajo and other Native American youth who have the potential to succeed in higher education and become leaders in their respective communities. The School provides a rigorous academic program based on strong foundation of Navajo philosophy supported by a residential environment that enhances individuality and independence. This mission is reflected in the School’s motto, “Yideeskaagoo Nat’aanii – Leading into the Future.”

Rigorous Academic Program

Our Ultimate Goal is to Prepare all Native American High School Students for College. The mission is to educate talented and motivated college bound Navajo and Native American youth who have the potential to succeed in higher education and become leaders in their respective communities. The school provides a rigorous academic program based on a strong foundation of Navajo philosophy supported by a residential environment that enhances individuality and independence.

If you are looking for a school that can give you self-discipline, time management, confidence, motivation, independence, and ultimately, preparing for college and more success in life, then Navajo Preparatory School is the school for you in preparation for college and higher learning.

Our students also experience some of the freedoms of college. Students live in dorm rooms and learn independence — which serves them well when they go off to college — as 90% of our students do.
