Founded in 1997, the Vermont Commons School is an independent college preparatory school for grades 7-12. It is located in South Burlington in a modern building right next to the 200 acres of orchards and fields of the UVM Horticultural Farm. The mission is to provide a vision of education that crosses traditional boundaries and develops ecological citizenship, with the goal of empowering students with the knowledge, character, skills, and moral vision necessary to become responsible, pro-active members of the world community.
