This was a perfect choice for our daughter and PreSchool. Nothing but the kindest employees. The children always seem to have smiles on their faces. This school taught my daughter a lot, most importantly they taught her love, respect and kindness- something that is lacking in the public schools in BOZEMAN.

Education choices can be complicated however the benefits of attending Petra are numerous. The education the children receive is truly unmatched in the valley. That being said, it does come at a price which is worth the cost. Students are held to a high standard and they are encouraged to excel. The teachers are warm, sincere and work diligently to provide an amazing atmosphere for learning each day. The sports program and athletic director are improving every year and the excitement is building. Without a doubt, I am extremely grateful that all four of my children have attended Petra during their schooling years. I would encourage anyone considering Petra to stop by for a visit and sit in a class or two. I guarantee you will leave having learned something!

Petra is a fantastic choice for school for many reasons. The quality of education is phenomenal and the curriculum is tuned into how children best learn at each phase of childhood and then as they become young adults. I am amazed by what my kids have learned this past year. They come home singing songs from every subject which helps them memorize a lot of different information. They came from public school in a state known for their schools and I can say they are learning more now than in the past and they are learning differently.
I love the classical education model and the way they are being helped to think. Watching them learn Latin, Violin, read classics, and write in cursive has been tremendous. Latin may be considered a dead language to many; however, the way it builds vocabulary for everyday life and helps teach history is extremely important.
The fact that children as young as 3 or 4 and then through Senior year can get up on stage regularly and speak, sing, and act in front of an audience is priceless when you think about how many people in everyday life are petrified to speak in a public setting.
The community at Petra is supportive, caring, well qualified to teach, and has offered a wonderful atmosphere in which to learn. They help your students in ways that go beyond just subjects being addressed in the classroom and help then interact in ways that will prepare them for life.
The fact that morals and values are pulled through your childs educational life has also been invaluable. I highly recommend Petra for all this and more.
