Igniting the Life of the Mind

Learning is a shared pursuit based on active participation, curiosity, critical thinking, and connection with the world around us. Small class sizes and collaborative mentorship with close-knit faculty help nurture a life-long love of learning.

Intellectual Adventure

Dive into learning experiences that challenge and inspire every student’s unique potential.

Collaborative Growth

Come as You Are

At Vermont Commons School, we foster an environment where every student is recognized and encouraged. Here, you can explore your passions and grow alongside supportive peers and mentors.

Come as you are—to the classroom, the stage, the studio, or the trailhead—and you’ll find a community ready to help fuel your journey.
