Ways You Can Be a Part of Petra

At Petra Academy, we partner with Christian parents to reassure them in their school pursuit to see their children faithfully stand out in the world.

Good parents want their children to grow up to be good people. And most want a community of like-hearted people to help along the way.

Parents want their children to have the best chance at success. They worry that a wrong decision could lead to failure. Opinions from friends and family complicate matters, often causing parents to feel insecure about their choice.

Here’s an excerpt from an email from a new 2nd grade mom stating just that:

Thank you for a great first week of school for my daughter! She is really happy about her new school, which I am so happy about because sometimes as a parent we question our decisions.”

How do parents enjoy their children’s learning years if their children don’t? This is where Petra Academy can help. We recognize so much is at stake in the decision parents make for their children. And we know evaluating educational options can be difficult and confusing.

But we also know how to come alongside and help, because that’s what we’ve been doing since 1995.

Through our partnership with parents, we provide regular feedback about student progress that so many schools are unable to offer. Smaller classes and teachers who really want to get to know your student are standard, while our classical curriculum and Christian culture are anything but.

We have a good school – the best in Montana. And we have a good tale to tell – of God at work in the lives of family and faculty, of students and staff learning together. It’s a story worth sharing, so let me encourage you to jump in and share it with us!
