Discovery Academy. A Small School With a Big Heart.

In a small mountain town like Big Sky, every child matters. Every family matters. Every story matters. And every gift makes a bigger difference than you can imagine.

Discovery Academy is more than a school. It is a safe place where students are seen, supported, encouraged, and celebrated. It is a place where older kids look after younger ones. It is a place where a shy child finally raises their hand. A place where a student who once felt lost in a traditional classroom discovers confidence and joy again. A place where no one is invisible.

This is what happens inside our walls every single day.
This is why Discovery exists.

One of our teachers said it best:

“What makes Discovery Academy so special is the way every child is seen, supported, and included. Older students look out for younger ones, and no one slips through the cracks. It truly feels like a family.”

That is the heartbeat of our school.
That is the reason we keep going.

But to keep doing this work, we need help from people who believe in creating a different kind of education for Big Sky students.

💛 Your gift makes these moments possible:

A struggling reader gets one on one support that changes their entire year
A neurodiverse student feels understood and accepted instead of overlooked
A shy first grader finds courage with the help of a middle school buddy
A high schooler finally feels like they belong after years of feeling out of place
A young child discovers joy in learning through Montessori exploration
A family breathes easier because their child finally feels safe and supported

These moments are real. They happen every week. And they happen because people like you choose to give.

💛 Why we need support now

As a small independent school in a small town, every donation creates meaningful change. It supports:

Classroom resources
Teacher development
Tuition assistance
Montessori materials
Program growth
Outdoor learning
Emotional support programs
A safe, nurturing environment for all students

Discovery Academy does not have the deep financial base that larger schools rely on. We depend on the generosity of families, community partners, and people who believe that children thrive when they are known, loved, and supported.

💛 You can help us continue the work

A gift today helps us continue to engage, enrich, and empower every student who walks through our doors. It keeps our mission strong and our classrooms full of life.

Whether you give ten dollars or ten thousand dollars, your support helps create a school where every child feels like they belong. A school where kindness is expected. A school where curiosity is celebrated. A school where every student feels safe to be themselves.

You are not just donating to a school.
You are investing in children, in families, and in the future of Big Sky.

Thank you for helping us grow the heart of this community, one child at a time.
