Learning
happens
here.
With 3 Whitefish campuses, one in downtown and two forest and farm campuses, The Skola takes a novel approach to elementary education: bigger community, better connections.
OUR MISSION
We are changing the culture of learning by pairing what to know with how we grow.
We help students develop relationships inside and out, form healthy learning habits using the best academic research, and build connections in town and beyond where students feel responsible for their purpose and place.
Welcome to The Skola
The Skola is a not-for-profit, independent school. We use mixed-age groups for classroom activities, community projects, and nature immersions, in addition to 1-on-1 sessions with our learning specialists to bring focused attention to each child’s experience.
Our big picture curriculum
The essential skills of creativity, critical thinking, and compassionate decision-making come to life when kids can connect what they learn to where AND who they are.
Learning on
the wing
The questions we ask, the models we use, and the places that help us find clarity look different every day.

We all have that teacher, class, or special program that delivered far more value than it cost to create. Join our inaugural fundraising campaign and reimagine what a school can be.
All children are natural learners. The Skola expands where learning can happen.
We are committed to a rigorous academic program that challenges, provokes, and deepens our students’ repertoire of skills. And even more importantly, those skills can be plugged into the meaning-making world of your child’s own thoughts, feelings, and passions.
