Excellent Holistic Education in a Beautiful Local Community

Thoreau College stands out as a program which is deeply connected to a thriving rural small-town community. Because of this, it's a great place to learn practical community-building skills as well as sustainable faring/gardening and folk crafts. During my time at Thoreau, some of my most valuable lessons came from meeting and speaking with eccentric farmers, artist, and teachers from the local community. This is a great program for artistic dreamers, outdoorsy oddballs, and everyone interested in the local and small-scaled.
