Teton Science Schools (TSS) is an educational organization located in northwest Wyoming and Idaho. TSS runs programs in outdoor learning experiences, classroom education, and educator development. Founded in 1967, TSS began through teaching about the natural world and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem together through the study of nature and place-based education. Teton Science Schools serves students from across Wyoming, the Intermountain West, the nation and around the world.
Teton Science Schools operate place-based programs for students, adults and families, wildlife expeditions, outdoor learning experiences programs, education learning programs for teachers, and two independent day schools.
In 2015, the organization integrated the Murie Ranch, a nonprofit conservation organization located on the Murie Ranch in Moose, Wyoming.
Jackson Campus - the main campus is located on a 900-acre site in Jackson Hole, which include educational, residential and dining buildings.
