Black Mountain SOLE is the world’s first SOLE for higher education. We provide an ideal setting with all the infrastructure and personnel necessary to support collaboration, individual work, and group events. Our programs incorporate progressive ideas from leading education thinkers and use them to implement curriculums within a residential community of smart, motivated people. Each of our individual programs serves distinct learning goals, but the common thread is that they are all inspired by the idea that human curiosity is the best motivation for learning. An education should be personalized and engaging, existing deliberately and solely for the learner.
