Stratton Mountain School

Stratton Mountain School is a ski and snowboard academy located at the base of Stratton Mountain in the heart of the Green Mountains of Southern Vermont. Our community of students, academic and athletic faculty members share the pursuit of excellence in education and sport. The first ski academy accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, SMS has a strong tradition of solid college preparatory academics combined with the most comprehensive and innovative training program available to young alpine and nordic ski racers and snowboarders.

The school year calendar and daily schedules are designed to maximize training time and accommodate competition schedules, without sacrificing a well-balanced academic program. Competitive teams include soccer, cross country running and cycling in addition to skiing and snowboarding. Residential life is enhanced by weekly evening workshops and field trips ranging from the performing arts to woodworking. Since the school's inception, almost every SMS graduate has continued on to a four year college or deferred to pursue a career in ski racing or snowboarding. Many SMS alumni have continued on to ski or ride for the U.S. Ski or Snowboard Teams and other national teams. The majority have gone on to colleges such as Dartmouth, Middlebury, Williams, Bates and the University of Vermont. Many snowboarders have developed successful careers at the pro level as well.
