The Hopi School
"A flower grows best in its own plot of earth."
The Hopi school is working to develop an educational process that is derived from Hopi rather than imposed from the outside. With Hopi strengths in the arts, that is an obvious place to start. For more information, please visit http://www.hopischool.net/
