Vermont Day School is an independent, non-profit school that prepares PreK-8th grade students to be passionate learners, creative thinkers, effective collaborators and responsible global citizens in the 21st century. Vermont Day School is academically oriented, with an emphasis on hands-on, project-based learning. We meet children where they are and ensure that every student is seen, appropriately challenged and engaged in learning. Our mission is to foster the skills, knowledge, personal attributes and work habits that enable children to thrive effectively, meaningfully and joyously in the world of today and tomorrow.
