Chinuk Immersion Kindergarten program The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde has its own Chinuk Immersion Kindergarten program.

The Chinuk Kin dergarten class runs from noon to 3:30 p.m. at which time they will need to be picked up or join the K-5 program. The courses that the children miss in the afternoons in Willamina are mainly PE, library and music, but we are able to provide those classes for them. The children learn the Native language of the area and they are exposed to the local culture. The children are able to experience many hands-on units about their surrounding area. They are able to enjoy smaller class sizes and much teacher in teraction. We are still taking applications for the upcoming school year.
