High School
Flexible, individualized, and engaging.
Montana Hybrid Academy is a homeschool hybrid support program specifically designed for teens. It blends homeschooling, world-schooling, remote learning, experiential learning, and outdoor education.
At Montana Hybrid Academy, our trademarked outdoor education curriculum teaches peer-to-peer mentoring, outdoor appreciation, survival skills, and more. Here, your student will have the opportunity to earn unique outdoor-education badges.
High School Ages 14 +
We developed Montana Hybrid Academy's high school because we believe that teens should be learning and DOING.
We provide the structure for them to explore interests, build relationships, work in a student's desired field, and create safe spaces for our students to fail before they are adults and are expected to navigate the world independently.
Our program is highly individualized to each student’s goals and learning path.
Students continue developing core academic skills while pursuing personalized interests, mentorship opportunities, and real-world learning experiences.
As a homeschool hybrid program, families remain active partners in guiding course selection, pacing, and long-term academic planning.
What we offer.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, your student will students participate in fun and engaging classes via Google Classrooms from passionate instructors across core subject areas including language arts, history, science, math.
Thursdays are Bushcraft Teen™ Day!
Students typically participate in a dedicated outdoor education day each week, where students learn survival skills, bushcraft skills, and nature conservation.
If you are not in Montana, no worries! We give you the day to create your own outdoor adventure.
Fridays, we typically offer optional drop-in sessions in Math & Language Arts.
Here students have the opportunity to level up or get extra support if needed. We strive to meet students where they are and provide the support or challenge they need to obtain their educational goals. Families love the flexibility of using these drop-in sessions or making the day their own.
