Vermont Academy currently offers a traditional high school math sequence, from introductory algebra to honors-level statistics and AP Calculus.

Candidates with a background in calculus, statistics, mathematical modeling, or coding will get special consideration.

Founded in 1876, Vermont Academy is a small New England boarding and day school nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountains. Rooted in four pillars—Land, Community, Ingenuity, and Independence—VA blends rigorous academics with outdoor education, innovation, and a profound sense of belonging. Our students are encouraged to be true to their best selves; our educators create space for students to lead, explore, create, and thrive.

We teach by doing. We believe knowledge can’t change the world if it’s left inside a book. Personalized education is not a luxury—it’s what prepares students to shape a better future.

Vermont Academy actively seeks to build and sustain an inclusive and equitable working and learning environment. We believe every team member enriches our community by bringing a broad range of identities, perspectives, and experiences to the work of teaching and learning. We value the whole person and strive to reflect that in how we work, live, and grow together.
