The Challenge We're All Facing

We're spending more time indoors and on screens than ever before. We're disconnected from nature, from our bodies, and from the kind of real challenges that build confidence, resilience, and character - at any age.

We see it in ourselves. We see it in our children. And deep down, we all feel it.

There's another way.

Our Mission

For 22 years, Another Way School has been awakening minds through a unique combination of:

  • Expert skiing instruction
  • Transformative horsemanship
  • Nature-based Montessori education
  • Whole-person development

Set at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains in Park City, Utah, our rustic campus provides the environment where people of all ages discover what they're truly capable of.

What Makes Another Way Different

Mastery Through Movement - Students of all ages develop advanced skiing skills through our proven dry-land training method - progressing from biomechanical assessment to mirror work, practice slopes, and finally to the resort. Every skill learned transfers across all areas of life.

Partnership With Horses - Through horsemanship, people learn awareness, empathy, timing, and the profound lessons that come from caring for another living being. Whether child or adult, those who develop partnership with horses experience inner-driven commitment that's rare and profound.

Nature as Classroom - Our campus provides challenging, beautiful experiences where students develop balance, coordination, focus, and deep connection with the natural world.

Whole-Person Integration - We integrate thinking, emotional, and physical development. Students learn to observe their own actions, break old patterns, and consciously develop their extraordinary potential.

The Transformations We See

Commitment from the inside out: When you become responsible for a horse, something shifts. The horse needs care whether you feel like it or not. Rain, snow, tired, busy schedule - the horse still depends on you. You learn to show up not because you're told to, but because another being needs you.

People who engage with our programs develop:

✅ Confidence that transfers to every area of life

✅ Physical coordination, balance, and body awareness

✅ Emotional resilience and self-regulation

✅ Focus and dedication to mastery

✅ Deep partnership and communication skills

✅ Connection with nature that grounds them

✅ Responsibility and values that last a lifetime

What Families Are Saying

"My equestrian daughter has a level of commitment my other children haven't developed. She understands what it means to put another being's needs before her own comfort. That's a life lesson no textbook can teach." - Renee F.

"As parents who have backgrounds in medicine and education, we are well acquainted with the current research and thinking about the needs children have for contact with the outdoors and the way this impacts their academic success, critical thinking skills, and emotional well-being. We knew when we first experienced Another Way that as a parent participants would do everything we could to support the school's success. We owe it to our children who will inherit a world facing monumental challenges to offer them a new education paradigm. Another Way will lead the way." - Angela & David L.

"Your horse program is amazing. Your ski program is phenomenal. The two years that Jack attended your school were the best two years of his life so far. You set him up to be such a confident and focused young man. You turned him into a fantastic little skier!" - Leah C.
