We believe education should nurture each child’s creativity and natural desire to learn, while modeling a healthy balance between work and play. In addition to providing a rigorous academic background, we strive to develop each student as an independent, inquiring intellect and a positive member of the community.
Sussex, a Kindergarten through Eighth Grade elementary school, was founded in 1971. Located on more than two acres, the campus includes classes in a beautiful old stone-faced house, three classroom buildings (two of which are new and the first LEED*-certified school buildings in Montana), a spacious art studio, and a multi-use facility that serves as an auditorium and gym. The school has 115 students, nineteen full or part-time teachers, and five administrators. Sussex is an independent, private school dedicated to offering the best possible learning opportunities for children from kindergarten through eighth grade.
