Activities
At Flandreau Indian School, we offer a wide range of student activities to meet the needs and interests of all students. Our programs focus on developing leadership skills, encouraging participation and complementing the education experience. Students can explore various special interest clubs, participate in physical activities, join student government and engage in cultural events. We also provide opportunities for interscholastic and intramural sports.
Activity Planning and Supervision
We create detailed plans for all activities each year, covering academic and sports options, purpose, structure, coordination and fund-raising plans. Professional staff sponsors oversee each activity, and our chief administrator approves the programs. The school board reviews and approves the plan to ensure a balanced and engaging program.

Student Involvement and Feedback
We encourage students to participate in activities after school, in the evenings, on weekends and during holidays. We also have a Student Staff Recreational Committee that allows students to share their input on activities they want. We post daily activity schedules in the dorms and academic buildings to keep everyone informed.
