Hillside Colony School is a public elementary school that is part of the Liberty Elem school district, located in Sunburst, MT with about 14 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade.

Hillside Colony School is a small, specialized educational institution located in the rural community of Sunburst, Montana. Situated on a Hutterite colony, the school serves the children of the local community, operating within a unique cultural and social framework.
