Our 8th-grade students recently returned from their annual trip to Washington, D.C. This year was especially meaningful as they visited our nation's capital during America's 250th anniversary year.

We're excited to share more photos and stories from their trip soon!

As we celebrate our nation, we're inviting our community to join Petra Academy's 250 for 250 Challenge and help create a lasting impact on students and families in the Gallatin Valley.

Will you be one of the 250?

For 250 years, Americans have invested in building a nation that would outlast them. Today, we have the opportunity to do something similar for Petra Academy.

In celebration of America's 250th birthday, we're launching “250 for 250”, a challenge to reach 250 donors (of any amount) by July 31st to support our school expansion. Every gift matters and every donor counts. Together, we can help expand our school and ensure Petra's mission continues to flourish for generations to come.

All of our students, youngest to oldest, spent their last school day together on Friday at our annual Field Day. Our secondary students are finishing up finals this week, and we look forward to celebrating our senior graduation this Saturday at 7 p.m. It’s been such a joyful last few weeks for our Petra community!

Our kindergarten classes are full of good books, hands-on learning, songs, stories, memorization, and teachers who are truly gifted at what they do. We love giving some our youngest students a strong foundation in these early years while helping them grow in both knowledge and character.

Kindergarten enrollment is now open, and we’d love to welcome new families into our community.
