Missoula International School

Missoula International School is a PreK-8 private school in Missoula, MT that combines language immersion with structured support for students with learning differences, including ADD/ADHD. The school's inquiry-based curriculum and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs help all learners develop self-awareness, interpersonal skills, and confidence—particularly valuable for students who benefit from explicit social skills instruction and a nurturing environment.

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School authorized for the Primary Years Program (PYP) and Middle Years Program (MYP), the school uses multiage classrooms and collaborative learning structures that allow students to progress at their own pace. The STEAM-based teaching approach and small average class sizes (15 students) mean personalized instruction and closer teacher attention for students who need differentiated learning strategies or assistive support.

Tuition starts at $12,000 annually (varying by grade), with 30% of families receiving financial aid averaging $7,300. The school accepts students on a rolling basis through February 17, with a 75% acceptance rate. Contact the admissions director, Susan Beck, at (406) 542-9924 or visit mismt.org for more information about ADD/ADHD support services and whether the school's learning model is a fit for your child.
