This school makes all their students depressed. They are secretive and malicious in their efforts to control all forms of violence and racism. Very very few teachers care for their student. The faculty protects a select few and make them immune to all consequences. The food is horrible. Most students can't bare to eat it. The administration is corrupt.

Vermont Academy is a fantastic school where students are able to pursue just about any passion they might have while being able to balance their academics. Students are also encouraged to step out of their comfort zone and try things they've never done before. The community is tight-knit and because...
