Weimar Institute is a center of higher learning located in the foothills of Northern California’s Sierra Nevadas. It grants four-year bachelor degrees in natural sciences (pre-med), theology, pastoral studies, and Christian education, with a focus on health, evangelism, manual labor, and a commitment to excellent academics. Weimar Institute is also the home of Weimar Academy, NEWSTART® Global, and the world famous NEWSTART® Lifestyle Program. The institute’s NEWSTART cooking school is in great need of updating. This high-use teaching space is an essential feature to many Weimar programs. Upon completion, the area will not only be used for guests of the NEWSTART program, but also to train medical missionaries in the proper preparation of healthy, tasty, plant-based cuisine.
