Little Wound School is a pre-K through 12th grade institution located in Kyle, South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. It serves about 900 students, largely from the Oglala Lakota community, with many high school students bused from multiple reservation communities within a roughly 50-mile attendance area. The school aims to provide a Lakota culture-based learning climate anchored in the values of wisdom, generosity, respect, and courage. It actively involves parents and community members in education planning and evaluation, while staff participate in a range of school and community activities. In 2019, Thunder Valley CDC partnered with Little Wound School to launch gymnastics programming for youth on the reservation.
