Tracing its origins back to the late 19th century, the institution now known as Fort Lewis College has a fascinating history as a military installation that developed into a school designed to serve the local Native American population. While widely known today as a liberal arts school, Fort Lewis College also distinguishes itself with its nationally ranked programs in business and engineering.
Fort Lewis College is a major fixture of Durango, a small town in southwest Colorado between the San Juan National Forest and the Southern Ute Reservation. The campus sits a few blocks east of the city center, a vibrant Main Street district packed with popular restaurants, bars, art galleries, coffeehouses, and entertainment venues of every description.
The nearby mountains provide stunning scenery and offer terrific opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and an endless variety of other outdoor activities.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
