1 Percent for Rural Montana Kids!

Educatio Rad School is reimagining education for 21st century learners in Montana. Kids in rural Montana deserve world-class, well-resourced learning opportunities as well as healthy, well-trained, and experienced teachers to help them develop the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to live a connected, engaged, fulfilling life.

Right now they face some of the highest, suicide rates in the country, low engagement with school, substance abuse, and poverty.

Montana kids deserve an education that allows for future choice and opportunity to use their skills, character, and expanded sense of possibility to dream big dreams and realize their goals.

We offer a project-based, experiential approach to K-12 core content curriculum standards that encourages creativity, innovation, and resilience in partnership with community organizations and businesses to solve real-life challenges and realize collective vision and goals. This kind of education empowers kids and develops resilience, applied knowledge and skills, and a true sense of self and purpose.

We know kids learn differently and are more kids succeed in individualized, learner-focused educational models that provide a spectrum of ways for students to engage with and demonstrate their learning. Traditional public school models do not offer the diverse opportunities that more students need to succeed and thrive.

Educatio Rad School has created a charter school framework specific to rural Montana kids that combines evidence-based educational approach with Montana values and legacy.

Your support will provide the resources necessary to offer a hands-on, civics-based curriculum and the professional development and teacher training needed for small communities across Montana to establish learning communities that provide safe, inspiring, and effective schools, producing the learning outcomes the growing number of students and families are demanding as their equitable, educational right as American citizens.

ERS provides the framework and training to create Montana charter schools for rural Montana students in communities across the state.

Our MISSION is to provide equal access to world-class education through an applied and project-based approach to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math); Social-Emotional Learning and Leadership; and Community Impact - to build a foundation of skills and knowledge, strong character, tenacity, healthy relationships, creative capacity, and citizenship.

About Our Education

A project-based, experiential learning approach encourages creativity, collaboration and skill development by exploring ideas and challenges and then finding solutions through research, design, prototyping, reiteration, and finally presentation of work.

Parent Feedback

"Since joining Educatio a year ago, my daughter's first instinct when confronted with a problem is to ask, "What can we do?" Her reflex is to get creative, and just as importantly, she feels it's within her power to create change. The students at Educatio are encouraged to learn through doing, and their teachers are committed to creating the framework for that to happen in a way that resonates with them. Witnessing how the school harnesses the creative energy of these kids leaves me feeling hopeful for a future in their hands." - Molly

"Our daughter comes home passionate about projects that she designs with her peers, such as planting trees to help our environment. She has a head full of ideas that seem beyond what someone would expect of a six-year-old. She has always been kind and compassionate, but I have seen these characteristics blossom since becoming a student at Educatio.

We would be unable to afford full tuition. However, Emily Post, Educatio's director, has worked with our family to ensure that our daughter's education is affordable for us. She does this because she is so passionate about her mission, even though they are a new school that is still working to find a way to sustainably fulfill this part of their mission.

For children to succeed in the future, education must be approached differently than the public school system. Educatio is paving a new path that is preparing children to be critical thinkers, creative, and compassionate that will be visionary change-agents in our ever-changing world." - Graham & Leslie
