Nestled in the heart of Southwestern Colorado, we are a beacon of education and adventure. We have offered exceptional academics, small class sizes, and experiential learning for over a century. We invite you to join our esteemed community and contribute to our legacy. As a staff or faculty member, you become part of an extended family, surrounded by the great outdoors and the welcoming community of Durango.
Our campus sits atop a stunning mesa, overlooking historic downtown Durango, the Animas River, and the San Juan Mountains. This unique location provides boundless access to wilderness and an unparalleled natural laboratory, enriching academic and personal experiences.
FLC is deeply committed to nurturing our native communities and traditions. With nearly 60% of our student body comprising students of color and a native-serving, non-tribal institution offering a Native American Tuition Waiver for a century, our dedication to diversity and reconciliation is unwavering.
Our reconciliation process, initiated in 2019, acknowledges our historical impact and honors our responsibilities to Indigenous communities, students, faculty, and staff. This ongoing process focuses on healing and improving the well-being of Indigenous students by increasing their sense of belonging and upholding our commitments to our Indigenous and College communities.
