The Montana Digital Academy (MDTA) is a state virtual school that is a unit of the US state of Montana higher education system, hosted by the University of Montana's College of Education. It was founded in 2010.

Enrollments in MTDA must be made by a Montana public school. Home school and private school students may enroll through their local public schools.

MTDA courses were provided to districts at no cost for the 2010-11 school year. Approved providers have been supplying individual courses to school districts. Per an annual OPI distance learning program survey of approved providers, 106 Montana students took online courses from nine approved providers in 2009-10. As of September, MTDA reported approximately 1,500 students and over 2,000 course enrollments for the 2010 fall semester
