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. Individual, environmentally focused, and hands-on. Sterling College is the antithesis of the typical centralized feeding operation that characterizes much of American higher education today. Fill out the form below and we will be in touch shortly for visiting opportunities.
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. Tour our beautiful campus, enjoy delicious Sterling food, and meet some of our adorable farm animals!
Fall Open House!
Our Fall Open House is a two-day event designed to give you and your family the full Vermont experience! On your way to Vermont, you will enjoy the beautiful scenery and on-campus sample delicious Vermont-made foods at Sterling’s top-rated farm-to-table dining hall, sample courses, and tour campus with our draft horse team.
Sounds like a party, huh? Consider yourself invited!
