American Indian Education Program

Mission: The purpose of the American Indian Education Program (AlEP) is to address the culturally related academic needs of the American Indian/Alaska Native students enrolled in grades Head Start through Twelve in the Montgomery County Public Schools. The focus of the program is to supplement, not supplant, the academic program of the schools in which the students are enrolled. All enrichment activities take place after school, in the evenings, or during the summer.  

Tutoring Services

Tutoring services for all grades are available on Tuesday and Thursday from 6-9 PM and on Wednesday from 3-6 PM. A lending library, a computer lab, and materials for project completion are available on-site ­ 

• The library holdings include a substantial collection of books on American Indian history, culture, art, and contemporary affairs. Also, fiction and non-fiction books are available for beginning, chapter-book, and young adult readers. Children may select books for book reports, to complete "25 Books Per Year" lists, or simply for personal enjoyment.  
• The computer lab is outfitted with nine computers able to access all the MCPS sites -including Edline. A printer is available for homework and parents are welcome to stay while students complete their assignments.  
• Students have access to the materials needed to complete everyday homework assignments, such as dictionaries, calculators, markers, maps, glue sticks, etc. Students may also plan, perform, and report upon larger projects, such as science fair entries or middle-school social studies presentations, but these projects typically take several study sessions.
