Our goal is to reintegrate your daughter back into your family and community.

We view this process as the greatest adventure in life -- the empowering adventure of finding one's true self.

Prospective MMS students have a desire to succeed, but may not be performing up to their true potential. They may be engaged in behaviors that endanger self realization.

Our students -- your daughters -- start their journey at MMS by learning that despite their past history or present difficulties, they can have honest healthy fun while working our program.

We integrate personal and community daily life skills with outdoor education, therapy, and academics. The result is a sophisticated, progressive and student-centered developmental curriculum. Our program is based solidly on research-proven methods of experiential education and therapy.

We Are:

  • A small (16-24 student) college-prep therapeutic boarding school for adolescent girls;
  • Fully accredited;
  • Centered in a spectacularly beautiful and serene environment in Western Montana;
  • Caring, compassionate and nurturing -- a calming place for your daughter to heal and grow;
  • Providing a structured family-style therapeutic community where our students, through self-regulation, learn how to use good judgment to make good choices.

We Are NOT:

  • A behavior modification program;
  • A level system;
  • A lockdown facility; or
  • A restrictive environment.

A Cost Effective Alternative to an
8-week Wilderness Program

Mission Mountain School does not require all students to go on a wilderness program prior to enrollment. In fact, the cost of some 8-week wilderness programs can buy you 5 1/2 months at MMS.

We can do an emergency intake in 24-48 hours and diagnostic testing and assessment on site. If your daughter does not have a history of runaway, self-harm, or assaultive behavior, a wilderness program may not be necessary. Call or email us for more information.

 

“What I like the most about MMS is the care and love that I feel when I am here. I feel safe emotionally, and physically. It feels like home... It is my home.

The support from the staff and students is really important to me. We all seem like one big family, and I like that.”



“The thing I like best about Mission Mountain School is the complete focus on and dedication to the individual needs of each student.

The physical and emotional time each teacher puts into each girl is remarkable and I believe is what puts MMS far and above any other school of this type that we looked at or researched. There is a sense of a supportive community... in incredibly beautiful healing surroundings.”
