My kids and I have been part of Elysian since 2009. The staff, the scratch-made meal program, the new facility, and the Seven Habits program teaching life-long lessons makes it a positive and encouraging atmosphere. Parents are welcome to be involved and teachers are given the resources they need to educate. The middle school program is improving every year as more and more kids enter those grades. My son is now in high school and had no trouble transitioning after 7 years at Elysian. read more

Switching schools in the middle of the year was incredibly easy. All staff that I have come into contact with over the past year have been incredibly warm and have the whole student in mind. Homework is minimal allowing my children to have time to play and be kids after school. Conferences and open houses have well orchestrated and therefore highly effective. Elsyian's sports program continues to grow under a competent athletic director. The school is always super clean and my kids LOVE eating breakfast and lunch at school. Being new to Montana, my only negative comment about my fifth and six graders' education is the curriculum is far behind where we were in Louisiana. The school does their best to accommodate faster learners by pairing them up with upper grade teachers in the subjects they excel in. read more
