Yurt Living (What is a Yurt?!) click it!

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.

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.
