Upper School (5-12)
Upper School students attend Big Sky Community School in person each day, combining Aeon School's rigorous online curriculum with the structure, relationships, and experiences of a small community school. Our local faculty work alongside students throughout the day, providing academic coaching, individualized support, hands-on learning, and mentorship from adults who know them well.
Partnering with Aeon School allows students to access exceptional teachers and courses while preserving the accountability, shared experiences, and sense of belonging of an in-person school.
ONE STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Our Upper School model brings together the subject expertise of Aeon’s faculty and the daily, in-person support of our educators in Big Sky.
AEON SCHOOL
Formerly Avenues Online, Aeon grew out of Avenues: The World School in New York City. Its experienced faculty provide rigorous core instruction. Aeon is NEASC-accredited and offers NCAA-approved courses.
BIG SKY FACULTY
Our experienced local educators do far more than keep students on track. They deepen learning through writing and humanities coaching, individualized math and science support, hands-on projects, and thoughtful mentorship. Because they know each student well, they recognize when to step in, when to challenge, and when to encourage greater independence.
LEARNING BEYOND CORE COURSES
A BSCS education extends beyond online coursework through hands-on projects, outdoor education, community partnerships, and experiences rooted in Big Sky and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Through Pursuits & Passions, students develop an area of genuine interest with support from faculty, mentors, and community partners. The flexibility of our model also allows competitive athletes to manage demanding training and travel schedules while remaining connected to their teachers, classmates, and school community.
Students should not have to choose between academic ambition and serious athletic training. The flexibility of our model allows competitive athletes to manage demanding training and travel schedules while remaining connected to their teachers, classmates, and school community.
