National Outdoor Leadership School

NOLS_0323 image

At the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), we craft our curriculum to give students the skills to solve challenges they will encounter in the world. As you explore nature through observation and application of ecological concepts, you develop a sense of place by experiencing wilderness and exploring relationships with the environment. You build leadership skills to communicate effectively, make sound decisions, demonstrate self-awareness, and display initiative by setting and achieving goals for yourself and your group.

 

NOLS uses experiential learning, a process that engages you in a direct experience and focused reflection to maximize learning. Before beginning an activity, students participate in a briefing to design a plan of action and integrate previous findings. Students practice scenarios when learning new skills and then apply them to genuine challenges in real-world activities. After each learning, debriefings provide time for reflection and growth.

 

Though we’re different from a traditional academic institution, our programs are recognized for teaching outdoor education, leadership, wilderness medicine, risk management, and conservation. With NOLS, you have options to receive academic credits towards a high school diploma or college degree.

 

Our mission is to be the leading source and teacher of wilderness skills and leadership that serves people and the environment. At NOLS, we provided transformative experiences for our students to grow tomorrow’s leaders. Begin your learning adventure with us today by visiting NOLS
