Vermont Academy is a small, New England boarding school serving 200 students in the majestic Green Mountains, renowned for handcrafting an extraordinarily unique education for each student. We teach our students how to rely on their inner compass and head toward their true north. We encourage adventures, ideas, natural interests, free thinking and lifelong growth.
Unique Characteristics
77′ Snow Park – Our on-campus snow park features snowmaking, a rope tow, rails, jumps, and boxes. There are three ski jumps of different sizes that have become a staple of our campus scenery. Our thirty-meter ski jump is an iconic centerpiece to our campus, adjacent to our ski hill where many students enjoy a Sunday afternoon during the winter months. We also offer optional weekly team trips to Woodman Gymnastics in Brattleboro, where our freestyle team has access to two-fly bed trampolines and a foam pit. We compete in the Lakes Region League within the NEPSAC, skiers also have the option to compete in the USASA Southern Vermont Series, USSA A-Level Freeride Series, as well as many local rail jams. Our on-campus snow park includes a ski slope, rope tow, snowmaking equipment, lighting, and state-of-the-art grooming equipment. There are three ski jumps of different sizes that have become a staple of our campus scenery.
Center for Learning – The work we do with students during their time at Vermont Academy helps to develop behaviors that foster self-advocacy and independence. Our students become comfortable accessing resources on their own, preparing them for a successful college career. While some of our Center for Learning students have diagnosed learning differences, others do not. Our tutors help with key skills such as organization and time management – a struggle for almost all teenagers, regardless of learning style.
