Exciting news for Missoula teens and their families! We’re thrilled to announce the opening of Clark Fork Prep, a new independent high school in our community. Founded by three dedicated teachers with a combined 50 years of classroom experience, Clark Fork Prep is committed to providing an educational environment with a low student-to-teacher ratio that empowers educators to make informed decisions tailored to their students' unique needs, interests, and abilities.
Clark Fork Prep is also the only place-based high school within a 400-mile radius, and we aim to connect students to the rich resources and opportunities available in Missoula. Our curriculum is designed to engage students in a variety of formats, whether through weekly Explorations, immersive learning blocks held twice a year, or our core academic subjects. We believe in creating a dynamic and challenging education experience that inspires a love of learning.
While Missoula has excelled in supporting our younger children—from daycare to preschool and various after-school and summer programs—it’s equally important that our teens receive this level of intentional support. Research indicates that ninth grade is a critical year in a student’s academic journey, and Clark Fork Prep is dedicated to fostering an environment that helps teenagers thrive as they prepare for their futures, whatever paths they may choose.
