Divine Mercy Academy is an excellent school, and we feel truly blessed that our children attend school here! The academic structure is based on a Classical Education model, and therefore the children learn everything with an emphasis on faith, history and literature, tying those things in relationally with modern themes. The tuition is very reasonable, and we have found that the school permeates a positive environment for children to flourish in, with a strong foundation in Faith.

My two youngest children are students at Divine Mercy Academy, and its refreshing to see their joy of learning in a family-friendly and faithful environment. The classical method lends itself well to how my kids learn, and they come home with impressive discussions about faith and history- makes for enjoyable evening conversations. Highly recommend this school.

Our daughter attends the Preschool at DMA and she loves it! The teachers genuinely care about the students, and the families who attend there have become a truly supportive community. The preschool teacher Mrs. Holm has given the students many creative projects that simultaneously help develop imagination and hand eye coordination as well as integrate preschool curriculum. There is a great balance between learning, playtime, and integration of the faith. I am so very grateful that we have a Catholic school in the valley and that there is a place we can send our daughter where she will make wonderful long-lasting friendships as well as learn the skills needed to not only become a smart and confident woman, but also (and more importantly) a loving, compassionate and faith filled member of society.Furthermore, I have found the teachers and staff to be very responsive to any questions or concerns as we prepared to enroll our daughter for the 2020-2021 school year. They are always open to answering questions of incoming families and will give you a tour upon request.

We love this school and it has been great for the kids. The teachers are fantastic and it is truly an awesome experience for families. Small class sizes, classical education, and a very reasonable tuition that is based on income! This is a Catholic school and the students regularly attend daily Mass at Saint John Vianney in Belgrade. Don’t hesitate to call and schedule a tour if you are even slightly interested.

DMA has been such a blessing for our family! We love the solid academics, but even more we love DMA’s focus on virtue in educating their students. If our children grow in virtue, and grow into virtuous adults, everything else is just a bonus. The amazing community at DMA - the families, the teachers, the volunteers - is providing an environment seeped in Catholic virtue. Our kids are surrounded by the faith in everything they do!

Very unhelpful school. My son attends at DMA, as a preschooler last year. His father and I have joint custody on all decision making. Our son spends about half the week with me, and half the week with dad. Dad met some woman online via a dating app, accidentally got her pregnant, and they got married very soon after. She took on his last name. The two of them have been working together diligently to alienate me from my son. In fact, they registered my son FRAUDULENTLY with Divine Mercy Academy, listing my exs new wife Taylor as my sons mother! They left me out of the documentation 100%. They did this behind my back, in secret, and fraudulently.I only found out after a mentioning of the school by my ex, during one of his world-class lie slip-ups. I called the school and spoke with Gus (the Headmaster) who is extremely polite. He was very helpful, and this review has nothing to do with him. He sent me my sons registration and enrollment information, and was very sincere about his concern that there was a child fraudulently enrolled in their school.Well, no one in the court seemed to care that my ex is a fraudster, and my ex went on his merry way, keeping our son in this school...never listing me as our sons mother.Ive contacted the school many times, because I dont receive newsletters, calls, information, grades, NOTHING. I spoke FINALLY today with Cheryl Roller, who did not realize that my son was attending their school under the guise that someone else was his parent, and that Ive been left out of the entire schoolyear last year. I was able to secure a parent-teacher conference with one of the teachers Ms. Holm, who is very sweet.I had contacted the school last week, inquiring about obtaining a Release of Records for my sons information, to give to my attorney. Cheryl informed me that unfortunately, only the parents whom the child is registered under can obtain that informationApparently, nobody ever bothered to fix my sons record, listing me as his mother. Very interesting. I informed Cheryl of the fraud that had occurred, and she then directed me to Megan Stout; the schools Board Chairperson.I politely explained to Megan what was going on, but did express that I was rather dumbfounded that the school had not bothered to confirm a students actual parents before enrolling them. I requested her help. Instead, I got a blow-off email, not even addressing the fraud, and not even apologizing for the school not doing its due diligence in making sure that people enrolling students in their school are their ACTUAL GUARDIANS.I am currently looking into legal options, as well as reporting DMA to the Montana Board of Education. I wouldnt enroll your student here, with such an irresponsible Chairperson, who just blows mothers off whove been screwed out of their childs entire schoolyear on account of the schools oversight.Absolutely disappointing and sad, that a school trusted with childrens wellbeing and education actually cares so little. Actually, Im sure they care quite a bit about the tuition checks.
