Boarding

At Vermont Academy, every decision teachers make is driven by an emphasis on what is best for the students. Through our specialized college-prep curriculum and course offerings, we're able to provide something that interests all students. We prioritize making ourselves accessible and available to facilitate the growth of each individual student and their need to prepare for a changing world, and our college counseling team works one-on-one with students to help them find a college that targets their best interests and abilities.

From the physics whiz who discovers a talent for graphic design, to the varsity basketball player who gets on stage for the 24 Hour Play festival, to the robotics team member who plays drums in the jazz ensemble, every student at Vermont Academy has the opportunity to get involved in the arts.

We also offer a robust athletics program with 14 varsity sports offered, such as hockey, basketball, and soccer. Additionally, with our proximity to Mount Snow Ski Resort we've been able to bring our student athletes world class snowboard and ski development programs with Vermont Academy at Mount Snow.

Vermont Academy is primarily a coed boarding school in nature; our residential program is an integral part of our students’ lives. Living with peers and dorm parents strengthens the relationships within our community. Our residential program strives to maintain a family atmosphere, while gradually preparing students for the challenges of independent living in college. We have students from all over the United States and international students from over 20 different countries.
