The Coeur d'Alene Tribal School is a Tribally controlled Grant School funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Enrollment is approximately 100 students in grades K-8. The school is located in DeSmet, Idaho on the southern end of the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. The Mission of the Sacred Heart was originally established on the St. Joe River and then moved to DeSmet in 1877. A year later a Mission School was started. When it closed in 1978 the Coeur d'Alene Tribal School was established.
