Highlights

 

The Sierra Institute presents an educational experience that complements academics with hands-on learning. For students who want to do a portion of their college work in the company of rivers and mountains, we offer:

  • High academic standards and quality of instruction associated with the University of California system (up to 15 units)
  • Personal discovery through extended time in nature and international cultures
  • A relationship to the earth deepened by living in the wild
  • Fun and growth of a small community experience
