About school

Alaska Pacific University's Palmer campus, known as the Kellogg Spring Creek Farm Campus, is nestled on a sprawling 700-acre working farm and environmental learning center just three miles from downtown Palmer, Alaska 1. This campus stands out as an innovative hub for experiential learning, merging academic pursuits with community engagement. Students enrolled in APU's sustainability and outdoor education programs benefit from a hands-on classroom setting, where they can participate in fieldwork, research, and community-supported agriculture (CSA) initiatives 16.

Furthermore, the Kellogg Campus is not only an academic haven but also a cultural venue, offering diverse events such as music festivals and weddings amidst its breathtaking Alaskan landscape 1. The site reflects the visionary legacy of Louise Kellogg, whose dedication to education and pioneering spirit are integral to the campus's mission 1. It also runs the Kellogg F.I.E.L.D. School for young students aged 5-14, emphasizing place-based learning, combining scientific inquiry with historical and cultural understanding 16. Additionally, the campus's training farm, complete with a farm stand, forms part of Alaska Tilth's efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, making it a well-rounded and engaging educational environment 1.
