Each year, Muckleshoot Tribal School students take part in culturally-centered, place-based programming from the Mountains to the Sound, covering all ecosystems in between.

In 2020, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe established a full-time classroom at Crystal Mountain. Muckleshoot’s yurt is the first and only classroom on federal land in the entire country.

The Crystal Mountain Project is a world-class, land-based program in which Muckleshoot Tribal School students in 3rd, 5th, and 8th grades, as well as high school students, experience culturally-centered programming directly aligned with Common Core, Next Generation, and OSPI's adopted standards.

Salish Sea Studies commence each spring when 1st-grade classes visit Vashon Island to reconnect with nature, study coastal plants and animals, and practice outdoor skills. These experiences are rooted in Traditional Teachings and Social Emotional Learning standards.
