Quileute Tribal School (QTS) is a Quileute, Native American school located in La Push, Washington. It is a K-12 school, serving students in grades kindergarten – 12. QTS is part of the Quillayute Valley School District. The school was founded in 1971. The school is accredited by AdvancED.
There were ten elderly speakers of the Quileute language in 1977, and "a few" in 1999. The Quileute Nation is attempting to prevent the loss of the Quileute language by teaching it to students in the Quileute Tribal School, using books written for the students by the tribal elders. The Quileute Tribal School is the most common way that Quileutes spread their language that only 3 people, two in their 80s, speak fluently.
