High school students are asked to choose two  and are required to read a “common text” for their assigned Ensligh elective. that will be discussed in the fall.

“What a wonderful school Vermont Commons School is. I wish every school in the country could have a staff, administration, and student body as engaged and friendly as yours.  The students are the most brilliant I’ve ever met. What a pleasure to visit. Thanks!” – Howard Frank Mosher, author of A Stranger in the Kingdom.

Scholarship. Community. Global Responsibility.
