Founded in 1990, Headwaters Academy is Bozeman's only independent middle school. Our mission is to
build confident, capable learners and leaders for a changing world.
Few speak as highly about Headwaters Academy as our constituents. Learn more about our school from the words of our parents, alums, and community members.
While providing an academically rigorous and project-based curriculum, we entrust students with the freedom to explore and share their thoughts in an environment based on mutual respect.
Our faculty comes from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, but there is a common interest that unites them: a passion for education and dedication to the cultivation of academic excellence in middle school students. Step into a classroom and you quickly see why we have the reputation of having the best educators in the Valley.
Headwaters Academy hosts a bi-annual Speaker's Series, in which award winning authors, film-makers, and scientists share their work with the Gallatin Valley community. This event is free and open to the public.
The Board is composed of community members interested in education and dedicated to maintaining HWA as part of Bozeman's education ecosystem. HWA has a well-rounded team of Board members dedicated to the school and its continued growth and success.
