Experience Sterling College
We are not like any other school in the country. Which is why you need to come for a visit!
Tour our farm, gardens, cedar swamp, and beautiful classrooms. Talk one-on-one with a current Sterling Student. Sit in on a class in a subject that you’re passionate about.Â
Individual, environmentally focused, and fiercely non-sedentary, Sterling College is the antithesis of the typical centralized feeding operation that characterizes much of American higher education today.
On Campus Visit
Sterling College is reopening our campus for in person visits! With this in mind we would love to invite you to come to our campus for a visit. This can include a tour, sitting in on a class and setting up a time to talk to our financial aid director. Come tour our beautiful campus, have some delicious Sterling food, and meet some of our adorable farm animals!

 One on One Live Virtual Tour
A Sterling College live video tour is part farm visit, part ecotourism, and part college visit rolled into one.
In your two hour trip with us you’ll have a one-on-one conversation with a current student, explore our campus, and learn about how truly special Sterling is.
Sterling College is one of the most beautiful, awe-inspiring campuses in the country. It’s not about the buildings, but rather the mountains that blaze crimson in autumn, our sheep that lamb in the spring, and the woods we explore on snowshoes. We are a campus, farm, woodlot, forest, and all-around amazing place.Â
We’ll also gladly schedule a class for you to virtually shadow! Tell us your interests and we’ll work to make sure you can see what a Sterling education is in person.

Virtual Open House
Now more than ever, small has made Sterling College resilient and adaptable. We’ve made changes to housing, dining, and student life, so we can continue our experiential learning methods and our commitment to ecological thinking and action without compromising the safety and health of our students.
Though, you probably have little desire to tune in to another Zoom call, we promise to deliver. You’ll get insights from faculty and current students. You’ll join us on a walking tour around campus from the farm to forest and see the work in action. We’ve dialed-in an experience as close to the real deal as possible.
