The academic experience at Vermont Commons is unparalleled. When students graduate they are ready for the next to seek out good in the world with skills that will help them be successful. The community is caring, engaged, and eager to create space for students to grow and learn. The faculty are some of the most inspiring people I have ever worked with and they are dedicated to every student in the school.
