The Swan Woody School District was established formally in June 1947 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW10-39-25W in the Rural Municipality of Mountain. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Swan Valley School Division. No vestige of the former schoolhouse remains at the site but the building now stands at NE10-39-25W.
