Summary: We believe that every student has the potential to do great things, and that each has unique gifts and talents – some of which have gone unrecognized and unused – and that by helping each student recognize and use these gifts, teachers can help all students achieve their own brands of excellence, transforming their own lives and the world around them.

Student Life

Summary: St. Johnsbury Academy students quickly discover that they are learning and socializing in an incredibly diverse environment where respect, inquiry, and high expectations are core values extending throughout school life, both inside and outside the classroom.
For students, respect extends not only to classmates, but also to faculty, staff, school property, our campus learning environment, and the community at-large.

The Academy firmly believes that invaluable lessons in character development can also be learned outside the classroom through the social interaction of students with peers from a wide variety of cultures, backgrounds, and interests. The Academy offers the opportunity to participate in more than 60 clubs and activities, ranging from purely recreational to community service-oriented, as well as more than 40 interscholastic sports and an all-seasons intramural program.

Summary: Recognizing the importance of course selection and long range academic planning, the Guidance Department assumes an active role in the scheduling process by offering assistance to students, advisors, and parents. There is a direct relationship between a student's course sequence throughout high school and their post-secondary options. Course selection during the junior and senior years is especially critical.

Traditionally, 90% or more of Academy students pursue some type of post-secondary education at the bachelor degree, associate degree or technical degree level.
