O’Brien County has several outstanding public and private educational opportunities for its young people. The county is divided into the three public school districts of: Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn, Sheldon Community, and South O’Brien. For specific information about each of our school districts and private schools, and a map of the district boundaries within the county, click on School Districts above.

We are also fortunate to have several institutions of higher learning in the area. Northwest Iowa Community College (NCC) in Sheldon offers 25 vocational/technical programs in addition to arts and science college transfer courses. NCC also presents many continuing education classes and provides numerous services to the area. Dordt College in Sioux Center and Northwestern College in Orange City are both within short commutes of O’Brien County. Buena Vista University, Briar Cliff College, Morningside College and Iowa Lakes Community College are all within 1 hour of O’Brien County.
