As a parent of two boys - one middle schooler and one upper school student - we are extremely pleased with our experience at VMS. Our boys feel supported - both in and out of the classroom. They are challenged academically and engaged - most importantly we appreciate how VMS cultivates their curiosity, instills a desire to learn and infuses them with a genuine sense of community.

Vail Mountain School has a problem with bullies and because they rely a lot on fundraising, if a bully's parents are involved with raising money for the school, they are not disciplined like everyone else. The school is split between those families who want to improve the diversity in the school and those who suggest that "if you want diversity, you should get on I-70 and go to Denver because you are not going to get it here". It's overpriced for the value you get and elitist.

We moved from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, to Vail in June 2023. My 7 year old never lived in the US nor was she used to little diversity. The community of teachers, staff and parents and the atmosphere at VMS was nothing short of amazingly warm! My daughter is about to finish her first year and she has formed so many amazing bonds, she went fromand we couldn't be more excited to start Third Grade!!

We moved our family back to the Valley so that our kids could benefit from the school's commitment to character development, community building, and intellectual curiosity. Our children will succeed as leaders,...

As a Vail Mountain School alumna (Class of '95) and current board trustee, I know that VMS offers something truly unique. The K-12 community creates an environment where students of all ages learn from and with each other, and the small class sizes (typically 14-16 students) ensure that each child r...

Our child just completed 13 happy years at Vail Mountain School. We will always be so grateful for our time at VMS. VMS teachers and community supported, inspired, truly knew, and appreciated our kid. While he was challenged academically, it was most important to us that VMS had a major role in his...
