NOLS leads, and you will, too. The leader in wilderness education, NOLS teaches leadership skills that last a lifetime.
WHY NOLS?
NOLS DEVELOPS LEADERS. We attract highly motivated students who want to learn how to lead.
And that's just what happens-our graduates find success everywhere: at school, at play, or at work.
NOLS IS THE SKILLS SCHOOL. Our hands-on, learn-by-doing approach means that our graduates
get the skills they need to be competent, responsible wilderness travelers long after their course is over.
NOLS EXPLORES REMOTE WILDERNESS ON EXTENDED EXPEDITIONS. What NOLS teaches
cannot be learned in a classroom or on a city street. It takes practice to learn outdoor skills and time
to develop leadership. The wilderness provides the ideal setting for this unique education.
MORE THAN 97% OF NOLS GRADUATES VALUED THEIR EDUCATION SO MUCH THEY'D
RECOMMEND NOLS TO A FRIEND. There's no better mark for how satisfied NOLS students are with
their experience. In addition, more than 95% of NOLS students say they'll use what they learned at
NOLS in other aspects of life.

A W ILDERNESS EDUCATION EXPERIENCE. More than 75% of NOLS students who are of college
age take a NOLS course for college credit. Students have successfully transferred the credits to over 400
colleges around the country.

and training by NOLS, they are ready to instruct for us .
WHAT MAKES NOLS THE LEADER

ethics in some of the world's wildest
and most awe-inspiring classrooms.

a full academic year, students learn
the skills necessary to be comfortable,
responsible wilderness travelers and
leaders long after their course is over.
