Schools
Eagle River has numerous public, parochial and charter school programs available for K-12 grades. The public school district is the Anchorage School District (ASD). Homeschooling is also a popular form of education in the area, both through home based charter schools and independently. Alaska has some of the "friendliest" home school laws in the United States. The only high school in the city is Eagle River High School, although there is the option to go to Chugiak High School 2 miles away in Chugiak.
The University of Alaska has a branch office and provides classes in the area. There is also a local Bible college.

“In truth, the legitimate contention is, not of one age or school of literary art against another, but of all successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
