School Overview

Anderson School (often referred to as Anderson Elementary or Anderson 7-8) is a unique, historic K-8 district located in the Gallatin Valley just outside of Bozeman, Montana. Serving a tight-knit community, the school is well-regarded for its small class sizes and personalized approach to education. Because it is a small, rural-district school, it maintains a strong emphasis on community involvement, often acting as a hub for local families who appreciate the balance between academic rigor and a supportive, close-knit environment.

The 7th and 8th-grade program at Anderson is designed to bridge the gap between elementary education and the transition to high school. By focusing on a smaller student population, the school provides an environment where students receive individualized attention, helping them develop the study habits and critical thinking skills necessary for success in larger high school settings. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Bozeman area, the school emphasizes a grounded, student-centered culture that prioritizes character development alongside core curriculum standards.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
