About the Area

Located in Idaho’s Treasure Valley

On-site retreats and summer courses are offered at The Ambrose School, which is located just outside Boise, ID, in a region referred to as “The Treasure Valley.”

Located in southwest Idaho, Boise ranks as one of the nation's fastest-growing and most desirable places to live as noted by Livability.com and Forbes magazine. The greater metro area includes the communities of Meridian, Eagle, Star, and Nampa, with a combined population of just over 700,000.

The Ambrose School is located near many outdoor activities, along with exciting choices in restaurants and entertainment. When you come for one of our events, you also have the opportunity to experience some of the best that Idaho has to offer! Here is just a sampling of the things we love about the Boise area:
