Vermont Academy is a small, New England boarding school serving 220 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.
Vermont Academy’s educational philosophy is based on four historic values of ingenuity, independence, community, and love of the land. These values create the underpinnings of an early bound book called The Vermont Academy Way, and they represent the framework shaping the development of today’s curriculum.
Unique Characteristics
Vermont Academy’s winter campus option, Vermont Academy at Mount Snow, offers a unique opportunity for student-athletes to cultivate their passion for on-snow sports while maintaining a consistent college preparatory program. Athletes can elect to train four sessions per week at Mount Snow or board at the Matterhorn campus for a more immersive experience.
Our teachers and coaches work collaboratively to support goal-driven student-athletes while instilling confidence, perseverance, and independence. This exceptional combination of elite coaching and strong academic programming sets our students on the path to athletic and academic success—without sacrificing one for the other.
For a full snowsports academy experience, we act as a winter boarding school which allows our student athletes to stay in dorms near the slopes so they can hone their skills while maintaining their studies in a one-on-one tutoring environment. Our winter sports boarding school is equipped for intensive full-day training sessions to unlock the true potential of our student athletes.
