The New Kituwah Academy (Cherokee: ᎠᏤ ᎩᏚᏩ ᏧᎾᏕᎶᏆᏍᏗ, Atse Kituwah Tsunadeloquasdi;[6][7]gi-DOO-wah),[8] also known as the Atse Kituwah Academy,[9] is a private bilingual Cherokee- and English-language immersion school for Cherokee students in kindergarten through sixth grade,[10] located in Cherokee, North Carolina,[11] in the Yellow Hill community of the Qualla Boundary.[9] It is owned by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI),[12] and operated by the Kituwah Preservation and Education Program (KPEP).[13][14]
The school is part of a larger effort by the EBCI to save and revitalize the endangered Cherokee language by creating immersion and other language-learning opportunities;[15] it also instills Cherokee cultural pride.[16]
The word kituwah (ᎩᏚᏩ) is used by the Eastern Cherokee to refer to both themselves and their language; it can also mean "center" or "mother town" depending on context.[8] New Kituwah is independent from the Cherokee Central Schools at Qualla Boundary.[17]
