The Mountain School of Milton Academy operates a semester program for high school juniors in Vershire, Vermont. Each term brings together a cohort of about 45 students from across the country who live and work on the school's farm and forest setting. The program blends academic study with hands-on, on-site work, delivered through an integrated curriculum that emphasizes collaborative learning and shared responsibilities. Its mission centers on cultivating a diverse, interdependent community that learns to know a place and care for it, with students prepared to contribute to the common good beyond the semester. Students and faculty live in small houses, participate in decision-making about daily routines, and learn in an environment where every voice matters and differences are valued. The Mountain School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and leadership changes were announced in 2022 with the appointment of a new director.
