As you may know, St. Michael Indian School has provided for more than a century, students from local Native American communities with a quality education that is rooted in Catholic values, is sensitive to Native heritage, teaches leadership skills, and enables students to contribute in a culturally diverse world. The school was founded in 1902 by Saint Katharine Drexel, who believed that an excellent, values-based Catholic education was the key to spiritual growth, empowerment, self-determination, and a better quality of life for Native Americans.  

Travel with Free Spirit and learn the history of Saint Katharine Drexel who founded the school and brought to Arizona the  Franciscan Friars who  established their outpost with land purchased from the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, which she also founded.  In addition, discover the natural treasures of the United States’ largest reservation, including Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly National Monument, and Antelope Canyon.
