Swan River School Welcomes You!

Swan River School is a unique, rural school, tucked away in the picturesque mountains of Bigfork, Montana.   We strive to educate the whole child while focusing on the individual needs of every student.  Our school fosters a caring and creative learning environment; and we equip our students to be successful in academics, as well as good stewards of humanity.

Our Swan River family sincerely welcomes you to the school year and invite you to take a tour of our school.  The staff of Swan River School is here to help students be successful, as well as have fun.  Every student who comes to school ready to learn, with good attendance and good work habits, will succeed.

Our student handbook provides a brief overview of school policies and procedures.  It is also to help answer questions which may arise during the year.  Please review the information thoroughly.  If the answers to your questions cannot be found, please feel free to contact the school to clarify any concerns.

The Swan River School staff welcomes parent volunteers and looks forward to parent participation when opportunities arise.
