Step 2: Schedule a Tour
Touring Bozeman Summit School offers families a personalized glimpse into our unique learning environment. Led by our Head of School, each individualized tour lasts about 45 minutes, providing the perfect opportunity for parents to ask questions and learn more about our approach. Visitors will explore our vibrant campus, including a spacious gymnasium, thoughtfully designed Montessori classrooms that foster independence and curiosity, and our expansive 3-acre natural playground—an outdoor space built to inspire exploration and creativity. Tours begin as early as October, offering a look at what makes our school community so special.
Step 3: Shadow Day
Based on enrollment projections, we will contact families to schedule a Shadow Day. The Shadow Day will consist of your child attending a day of school at BSS! For full Shadow Day details see Prospective Families FAQ’s.
Following the Shadow Day, you will have a follow-up conversation with the classroom teacher or Head of School regarding how your child’s day went either at pick-up or the following day.
