At Vermont Academy, learning by doing inspires the independent thinker. We believe that high school isn’t just a time to learn how to launch a business, create a masterpiece, and save the planet, but to actually do it. Vermont Academy doesn’t just educate its students. We teach students to be the authors of their own education, for life.
