School Notes:
  • Lees-McRae College is an academic community where classroom learning is meant to foster connections with life outside the classroom. To that end, we offer significant opportunities for service learning and we are one of the few colleges to ask all freshman to complete a community service project. Our commitment - our mission - is to educate the whole person...mind, body, and spirit, and we hope it shows.
  • We provide a nurturing environment that encourages intellectual, spiritual, physical and social growth. Our professors do so by combining learning with leadership development and community outreach. Our graduates will be able to think critically, adapt to a changing technological and global society, and value lifelong learning, integrity and responsibility.
  • Lees-McRae College is proud to be a member of the Bonner Leaders programs. This offers students the chance to make service to others an integral part of their learning experience here at Lees-McRae College and to receive academic vouchers from Americorps in recognition of their service to others.
  • Lees-McRae College, located in the village of Banner Elk, North Carolina, has the highest elevation of any college campus east of the Mississippi. Situated 4,000 feet above sea level in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, the College has an invigorating and healthful climate.
  • Lees-McRae College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Baccalaureate degrees.
