Campus Life
Graduations
Unlike traditional schools, graduation ceremonies at Alpine focus on a single student. Their accomplishment is celebrated with their family and many others closest to them during their journey. And every graduation ceremony ends with a very special Alpine tradition. View our video gallery to watch a selection of graduations, and hear first-hand the transformation our students have had.
Campus Life
Alpine Academy is located next to a multitude of easily accessible activities and recreation. Within minutes of campus are hiking and horse trails, swimming, bowling, golf, and volunteer opportunities. Alpine students are able to participate in day trips to museums, arts festivals, state and county fairs, concerts, amusement parks, theaters, and a plethora of additional outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, hiking, ice skating, water parks, and sledding.

Fitness

The Fitness and Arts Center creates a great place for gathering and having fun for all the homes.

Outside the fitness center is a large campus full of pathways that are great for biking, skateboarding, and running enthusiasts. The athletic field for those who want to be out in the sun, or in the snow, when they play. The objective of these facilities is to create accessible and entertaining ways for students to keep physically fit.
Equine
Alpine Academy’s equine program is a highlight for many students’ experience. Fourteen horses find Alpine their home. They are used to help students meet therapeutic goals, find enjoyment in horseback riding, and learn horsemanship skills that focus on safety precautions when handling and caring for horses. Students learn about equipment use, stall and corral and maintenance, feeding and grooming, and overall animal management.
Alpine’s equine program meets each students’ interest and skill level – from beginner to accomplished competitors. Both western and English riding are offered and our highly experienced Equine Specialists oversee the entire program. They also assist therapists in providing equine therapy through the EAGALA model.
Intramurals
Students at Alpine Academy participate in intramural sports every quarter. This allows students who have a particular skill and interest in a team sport to be a part of a team and complete to improve those skills. The students work together as a home and compete as a team against students in other homes on campus in basketball, softball, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee. These sports competitions allow the students opportunities to learn new hobbies, stay active, and also practice good teamwork and sportsmanship.

Experiences include hiking, rock climbing and bouldering, fishing, water sports, ziplines, and rope courses. The emphasis is on growth and development, just as much as fun. These trips are for all students and the cost is included in tuition fees.
