So proud to have been part of Pacific Rim College Online since day one. 💚

One of the most rewarding parts has been running into people over the years who tell me how these courses have enriched their lives, inspired new paths, or deepened their connection to plants and the natural world. It's a great reminder of the impact that accessible education can have.

Congratulations to everyone at PRCO on 8 incredible years, and to all of this year's scholarship recipients! Here's to many more years of learning, growing, and building community together. 🌿✨

🎉 We’re celebrating 8 years of Pacific Rim College Online! 🎉⁠

For the past 8 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping students around the world deepen their knowledge of holistic health through flexible, online education. Thank you to every student, graduate, instructor, and community member who has been part of this journey. 💚⁠
As part of our birthday celebration, our 2026 PRCO Scholarship has officially wrapped up, and all winners have now been contacted by email! ⁠

🎓If you entered, please check your inbox (and spam/junk folders!) to see if you’ve received a message from us.⁠

🎁 So, for our 8th birthday, we’re giving you 8 gifts.⁠
From mini-lessons and botanical resources to recipes and hands-on ways to keep learning, they’re all completely free.⁠
