Head of School's Letter
Welcome to Vermont Commons School - a place where students of all types can find a common place to learn, to share, and to get excited about their education! Our rigorous college preparatory courses are coupled with a sense of outdoor adventure to provide a balanced approach to modern education. The emphasis we place on ecological citizenship and 21st century skills involves being learned as well as creative, and brings our students to face the world around them with the confidence to improve it.
Behind all this excitement is a lot of hard work that we take very seriously. Providing an education that is interesting, personal, practical, as well as theoretical takes the very best that our faculty have to give. Our teachers are talented, experienced, and dedicated to the success of each child. They love to work in a school that values individuality, character, diversity, and respect.
We have designed our website to be informative and helpful to parents, alums, friends, and prospective families as well. We hope you find what you need, but please feel free to contact us directly.
VCS is a community of learners who reach beyond the classroom and out into the world; and I invite you to join us to experience this for yourself!
Sincerely,
Peter B. Gilmore
Head of School
