Our Campus is nestled in the eastern edge of Grand Teton National Park and 20 minutes from Jackson, Wyoming. We have a spectacular view of the Teton Range and unparalled recreation options for hikers, bikers as well as world class skiing. There is wildlife, wilderness, culture and community. That is why we love calling this place home.
