“All of our evolving programs are designed to create integrated learning experiences that combine skills, hands-on learning, close observation, problem-solving and collaboration, as well as independent experiences.”
—Dr. Jennifer L. Zaccara, Head of School
Vermont Academy has experienced a great start to the 2022-23 school year, and we have been able to embrace our traditions with the Wildcat Games and a celebratory Mountain Day at Townshend Dam. Students and faculty experience The Vermont Academy Way of teaching and learning every day, and the close connections between faculty and students represent the heartbeat of what makes our education so outstanding. I want to offer a special thank you to all who have supported us financially and through volunteering. In so many ways, your gifts and time impact the lives of our students.
The Four Pillars, outlined in our Strategic Plan, have directly led to new educational experiences for our students, and for our faculty, who have collaborated with each other to embrace the tenets of the school’s 21st century vision.
When we constructed the Strategic Plan, the Pillars drew on the school’s strength and history— Vermont as an outdoor classroom—and on the needs of students in a rapidly changing world. The Four Pillars are: Ingenuity, Independence, Community, and The Land. All of our evolving programs are designed to create integrated learning experiences that combine skills, hands-on learning, close observation, problem-solving and collaboration, as well as independent experiences. I think you are going to be inspired by the quotes you read from our students discussing how The Four Pillars are resonating with them. The Board of Trustees, faculty, students, and administrators contributed to the shaping and support of this plan. Our collective work continues to unfold in terms of courses offered, interdisciplinary lesson plans, place-based education, and independent projects.
I am also very pleased to announce that Tonia Fleming P’18, MBA, CFRE, was promoted from Director of Annual Giving to Director of Advancement in November. Tonia has done an outstanding job in the three years that she has been at VA. She understands relationship-building with our graduates and families, and has established wonderful rapport with parents, alumni, and her colleagues on the faculty and staff. This, coupled with the generosity of each of the names in this report, has enabled us to grow our annual giving from $750,000 in 2019 to more than $1.3 million in the recently completed 2021-2022 fiscal year. We are grateful to all who made this possible.
We continue to embrace our location and our heritage while enabling Vermont Academy students to practice what it means to be innovative and creative in a rapidly changing and exciting world.
With warm regards,
The Vermont Academy Way of teaching and learning every day, and the close connections between faculty and students represent the heartbeat of what makes our education so outstanding.”
—DR. JENNIFER L. ZACCARA, Head of School
Vermont Academy has eight core beliefs which guide our students as they navigate the world. While all are important, when I reflect on consecutive giving, the first belief rings particularly true:
Considers the impact of their actions, on both the immediate and world community, for the benefit of present and future generations.
Vermont Academy’s consecutive annual donors, our Long Walk Legends, take this core belief to heart as they are the bedrock of our philanthropic program. By providing support year-in and year-out, they allow VA to plan with confidence for the benefit of ‘present and future generations.’
As you reflect upon your own giving to Vermont Academy, I hope you will consider becoming a Long Walk Legend. To do so, simply make an annual gift to Vermont Academy for five or more consecutive years. In grateful acknowledgement of this commitment, we will recognize you as a Long Walk Legend in future annual reports and count you among those who make a significant impact on our community through steadfast generosity to Vermont Academy.
Thank you.

Vermont Academy had a transformative fiscal year 2022 as the school refreshed our post-pandemic strategy. Anchored to making a difference in the lives of our students, VA is connecting more deeply with our Pillars of Independence, Ingenuity, Community and The Land. A strong foundation is critical to maintain our financial health and accelerate future growth. We appreciate the support of our generous donors as well as the hardiness and resilience inherent in our Vermont mindset. The entirety of the Vermont Academy community is excited about the future and working hard to reduce the revenue/expense gap.
Vermont Academy’s educational philosophy is based on four historic values of Independence, Ingenuity, Community, and The Land. These values create the underpinnings of an early bound book called The Vermont Academy Way, and
they represent the framework shaping the development of today’s curriculum. Shared in this Annual Report are quotes from VA students that are reflections of a Pillar as they relate to each student’s respective journey.
Students learn their strengths and challenges, and with mentoring from caring adults, strive to build on these strengths and overcome challenges. By cultivating self-awareness, students become more resilient and advocate for themselves. They are encouraged to maximize their individual growth as students, athletes, artists, and citizens in individual and team settings.
The diamond in the rough at VA is you really learn how to advocate for yourself and be accountable for everything you do here, whether that’s school work, sports, or participating in school activities. It applies to everything you want to do. Learning to advocate for ourselves and to be held accountable makes all the difference. I know I’m ready for my next chapter.”
Vermont Academy students are problemsolvers through work in the classroom, the community, independently, and through team projects. VA’s program is student-focused and growth-oriented, emphasizing learning by doing. Creativity and problem-solving run through all programs allowing students to be curious and to contribute solutions to academic and community challenges
I am taking microeconomics with Mr. Herring P ‘24, and it is my favorite class I’ve taken in four years. Right now, we are learning about supply and demand; it keeps me focused while being really difficult, which makes it that much more rewarding.”
—JENNA JOHNSON ‘23, MILFORD, CT
—JOSH PAPRIN ‘23, GREENWICH, CT
Students at Vermont Academy feel a sense of belonging in a close knit community while also understanding the impact of their actions in school and in a wider, global community. Adults in the Vermont Academy community know students well from close mentoring relationships, which allow students to thrive. Based on the belief that all members of the Vermont Academy community are viewed as assets worthy of respect and where tolerance and good citizenship are nurtured. Exposure to diverse and global perspectives expands cultural understanding. Leadership and community service opportunities provide avenues for students to contribute to the welfare of others.
I was looking for a community, a new home. I had toured a bunch of schools and when I looked at VA, it was a surreal moment. I could see myself here and felt there were so many new things I could learn, such as crew, which I had never done before. Coach Burnham was so encouraging. He told me I had a lot of potential, so I worked really hard and made it on the varsity eight boat. I feel that VA gives students a chance to try many things, and even if I don’t continue the activity or class in the future, I still have all these core values that I picked up along the way.”
—SYDNEY SHAW ’25, KEENE, NH
VA students come to understand and appreciate the rural Vermont environment, while also learning the importance of sustainability, preservation, and appreciation of “place.” Tucked in the safety of a small Vermont village on a 450-acre campus, students are never far from the natural environment around them. From ski hills, rivers, and hiking trails, to local farms and the sugar bush, students are exposed to the serenity of the rural Vermont experience. Most of Vermont Academy’s longest-held traditions celebrate Vermont’s resources and encourage students to understand and enjoy the importance of nature in their well-being and for the preservation of our Earth.
We take some of the Thoreau philosophies with us regarding the land. We are part of it and use it for educational purposes. It does enrich our education. I frequently go down to the river and explore it. I see it as a metaphor for life. My friends and I just sit there without saying a word to each other. We’ll just watch the current run. There’s something magical about how the Saxtons River moves; it’s so strong. If you are outside, you are directly interacting with the natural world in a different kind of way than a lot of other art forms.”

One of the many things that makes VA special is the faculty and student relationships. Last year, I took kinesiology and it really resonated with me. I decided I was going to widen my knowledge of the subject, so I spoke with Ms. Heath, VA’s Athletic Trainer, and she recently gave me the opportunity to assist her, so I would see the practice and put it all together: sports, athletes, injuries, and how
them. This

VA students are expected to lead the education and decide what to do and how to do it. I am a first-year senior, and I’ve never had a teacher like Mr. Mayhew. He makes learning fun and easier! It’s nice to have a relaxed environment while knowing that he’s there to answer questions as well. I am also taking honors physics with Mr. Frey ’66 P ‘89, ‘92, ‘94, ‘08. I love that class! The problem-solving and process is really interesting. It’s a similar type of learning between calculus and physics.”

Mr. Echanis ’79, P ’08, ‘11, ’18 challenged us to reorient the motors in an Advanced Robotics class. As part of the team, I had a problem to solve and I solved it. When something goes wrong, you need to take it all apart and that’s a minute process. This is a year-long project that involves reducing space, which is a great challenge.”

I came to VA mid-year as a sophomore and my dormmates immediately brought me under their wing. We are a very tight knit community, very welcoming and open. As a tour guide, I constantly tell prospective students that your teachers aren’t just your teachers. They play multiple roles on the campus and off-campus. A dorm parent may also be an advisor, a history teacher and a coach, which is very cool. They don’t just see you as a kid; they really care deeply for you as an individual and a person with many interests. I’ve had some of my deepest conversations with Mr. Velsor, Ms. Holton ’96, P ’26, and Ms. McNealus ’79, P ’14. I love them all. I’ve visited a few liberal arts colleges and realized that VA has a small liberal arts way about it.”
I am having a really good year because I recognize how much is required to succeed academically, and I give Ms. Lanterman in the Center for Learning a lot of credit for this. She helps me with preparation and knowing myself well, whether it’s about my interests or capabilities. It’s just the right balance to help me learn and succeed.”

What I love so much about this school is learning outside of the classroom with more hands-on learning than just opening a textbook. We go outside and see this land in its natural habitat rather than just talking about it and looking at pictures. Last year, we used to go up to the sugar bush for class, and I would just completely isolate myself and look at the trees and nature and be by myself up there. We marked different trees, and throughout the course of the year, we kept checking up on them to see how they changed in the environment. If we went up right now, I could probably still pick out my tree. It was definitely something cool to do.”

The simple act of observing our campus is really powerful and photography offers a deeper way to build your relationship with your surroundings, simply by going out and taking pictures. One reason I love black and white photography is because you see this form of art in an entirely different way. I am so happy that Mr. Velsor introduced it to us. With this 35mm camera, we are looking at tones and shapes; it reduces and simplifies it, yet makes it more complex and more beautiful. I can’t wait to have an elective class for black and white photography.”
