Yurt Living (What is a Yurt?!)
Small family units of up to eight students and two staff live in yurts on the ranch. In this setting students learn to balance the achievement of academic and personal goals with the development and maintenance of important relationships. Each family group inhabits two yurts: one yurt provides sleeping and personal space and the other houses kitchen and bathroom facilities. The yurts are self-sufficient with solar electricity, spring-fed water, wood burning stoves, and home cooked meals that are purchased and prepared by the students. The rustic environment of the yurt is structured so that students become familiar with and learn to manage all of their personal and group needs. Daily living includes ranch work, academics, recreation, and free time.

The Lodge
Currently under construction, The Lodge is a 4000 square foot log structure that will house ten students. Complete with a commercial kitchen, the Lodge preserves many of the advantages the yurts provide. Our students will still be closely involved with the inner workings of the building, including maintenance and additions. They will continue to shop for their own food and cook their own meals. Our current students are assisting with all phases of its construction. Situated closer to the Ranch, students will have easier access to Ranch facilities and activities. Its central location will also preserve a strong sense of community. For updates on construction visit our Facebook page.

Ranch Life
Wisdom Ranch School is located on a working ranch with horses, mules, and 200 head of cattle. Our students are intimately involved in the day to day operation of the ranch and have the unique opportunity to pursue and excel at any ranch skill they enjoy, including horseback riding, roping, fencing, branding, calving, and operating heavy equipment. The student's academic and living experience is woven into the daily workings of the ranch. Students are exposed to auto mechanics, welding, carpentry, and metal working. Intensive training in any of these areas is available as each student identifies his passions and interests.
