I am a graduate of Vermont Academy and a parent of a rising senior. VA had been a life altering…read moreexperience for me, but I had not planned to send my children due to the expense and wanting to keep them at home. However, my son went to VA his junior year after, thanks to Covid, spending far more time in isolation with his mother and looking at screens than any any 16 year old boy should have to. VA has been a fantastic experience for him socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. He participated in soccer, which he had never played before, and really enjoyed it. He played on the hockey team, and while he has played on southern house teams for many years, he was one of the least experienced -- and his discomfort there was probably the only negative experience. This spring he participated in climbing and really loved it. He also missed a lot of school due to the flu, mono, and a death in the family. Teachers were very supportive and, while still holding him accountable, helped him to get caught up. He recently returned home and is already looking forward to fall and all of the opportunities that the fall will bring. As a parent, I have enjoyed being involved with the VA Parent Association, and as a graduate, being involved with the very active alumni associaition.

Sabra Field exhibit is not to be missed!…read more Not necessarily the greatest place for kids unless you attend an event geared towards them. The grounds could use some TLC but the exhibits are great, and short. Plan to spend an hour or so touring both buildings. Visit Cafe Mamie on a sunny day and enjoy some tea in the Vermont hills. The only annoying thing about SVAC is they place too much emphasis on the artists themselves and hardly ever list information on the work being displayed. We left rather annoyed that each gallery lacked information, if it gave any at all, on the thought behind each piece. A hidden Manchester gem to spend a few hours.

We really enjoyed our time due to Andrew's patience and humor (yes, he gave us a "hard time" - which was VERY funny and made us laugh). We left with a great piece to talk about for years ....

Thanks again Andrew - Brenda & Sue
