The Mountain School at Winhall’s purpose is to establish an educational foundation of curiosity, confidence, and competence while practicing kindness to oneself, the community, and nature.

Academic Excellence Through Experience

The Mountain School at Winhall, established in 1998, is an accredited Kindergarten through Sixth Grade independent school preparing students for success academically, socially, and emotionally with a rigorous curriculum, diverse experiences leveraging Vermont's outdoors, a cell phone free community, and a personalized approach for each student’s pathway of development.

We provide each student a challenging and supportive learning environment that emphasizes character, values individuality, and encourages creativity.

Vermont is Our Classroom

Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the four walls of the classroom. We utilize the rich history, natural beauty, and a strong relationship with nature to ensure students have the necessary support to develop inquiry, confidence, and competence as they develop into life long learners.
