FLC is an active, hands-on, you-have-to-try-this-for-yourself educational experience. We don't just sit in small classes and look at the mountains. We go to class there. Or the desert, the river, a local non-profit, or even the US-Mexico border. Go try us.

FLC was featured in "Episode One" of The College Tour, which premiered on Amazon Prime and Roku. Hosted by Amazing Race alumni Alex Boylan, the show features ten talented FLC students.

The students share their experiences with FLC's academics, diversity, athletics, career preparation, and more at Colorado's "campus in the sky."
