We were founded in 1846. We’re a private, coed, residential liberal arts and sciences college in Grinnell, Iowa. Around 9,000 people live in our town. About 1,700 students attend the College. We call ourselves Grinnellians. We’re committed to contributing to the common good, and we’re consistently ranked among the nation’s best liberal arts colleges.

A class taking in some fresh air and meeting by the sundial outside of Noyce.

We provide individually advised learning for the intellectually motivated. A place where freedom and academic rigour coexist and complement each other. And our curriculum has only one class that is required for all students.
