    Welcome to the La Vida Mission School

Located among the red-rock and sandstone mesas of northwestern New Mexico's Navajo country, La Vida Mission has been the light on the hill for Navajo for over 40 years.


Situated on 180 acres of high desert, the mission is in the checkerboard region of the Navajo nation between Crown Point (33 mi.) and Farmington (55 mi.).  Most of our students come from those areas, though some come from as far away as Durango, CO.   We accept both day and boarding students for no charge -- they pay exactly nothing (no tuition fees, no boarding fees, no meal fees). We provide a Christian education, balanced meals and home-style dorm housing thanks to our generous donors.  If you would like to partner with us by sponsoring a child, click here.

In addition to the Kindergarten - 8th grade school with large gymnasium and playground, several other buildings enhance the campus. They include the cafeteria, mission offices with community mailroom, 8 duplexes for staff housing and dorms, a church, a clinic, greenhouses and a horse barn with arena.  Browse our site to learn more about us.
