At Rocky Mountain School of Photography (RMSP) our mission is to provide more than an exchange of information in a classroom. As a family-owned school that believes in the power of endless potential, we strive to educate, inspire and foster long-term growth in fun and supportive learning environments. Our instructors are engaging, professional, and focused. Our educational philosophy is built on the principle that with the right training, every student’s goals are attainable. This “people first” approach to education has enabled thousands of individuals to improve their technique and further their abilities. This is just what happens when education is your lifestyle - as it has been ours since opening our doors in 1989.

Whether you join us for our one-of-a-kind Career Training program in Missoula, Montana, a Foundation or Travel Workshop or a Photo Weekend anywhere around the country, our success depends on yours. We invite you to explore our three educational programs here at rmsp.com.

Our Career Training program offers unique immersion style education in the technical, aesthetic and business aspects of photography. Our program prepares people for a career in photography through hands-on learning, progressive development, support and mentoring.

Workshops at RMSP offer a wide range of experiences, provide solid photographic instruction and cover basic to advanced topics. Courses take place in our hometown of Missoula, in national parks and at many other beautiful locations around the world.

Ideal for beginner to intermediate amateur photographers, our Photo Weekends program visits select cities around the country to deliver two days of solid education in a fun-filled environment. Photo Weekends allow students to choose their own curriculum and offer an excellent introduction to our style of teaching.
