Welcome to Windswept Academy!
A Christian School
Windswept Academy is a private, non-denominational Christian school, dedicated to providing students from the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation with a Christ-centered, quality, academic education in a Biblically directed learning environment. Our mission is to prepare students for leadership and Christian service in their community and the world. Windswept Academy began its first school year on August 27, 2009, with 12 students in grades K-2, at the home of the First Baptist Church of Eagle Butte, South Dakota. We have acquired 25 acres of land, located four miles west of Eagle Butte on Hwy 212 as the future site of Windswept Academy and are preparing to begin construction. We will move to this facility
next year once the campus is constructed. Beginning in 2010,
the Academy plans to add one grade per year and culminate with grade 12
in 2019.
SCHOOL BUS ARRIVES: Through the generosity and hard work of our dedicated friends in Virginia, Windswept Academy is pleased to announce the donation of our first school bus. To to see pictures from this big event, please click here.
PLANS FOR NEW BUILDING COMPLETED: In May, Windswept Academy teamed with Building God's Way to start designing the school building that will be constructed on our 25 acres of land located outside of Eagle Butte. We are pleased to announce that the planning phase is completed and we hope to begin construction in the Spring.
