Vermont Academy (also called "VA") is an American boarding/day school and college preparatory school for grades nine through twelve and also offers acceptance for students seeking a post-graduate year. Founded in 1876, it is located in Saxtons River, Vermont. The school is coeducational, and college-preparatory, with a campus. There are 228 students from 30 states and 12 countries (46 international students - 20%). Tuition and room and board for the 2011-2012 school year at Vermont Academy is $45,600. Tuition for day students is $25,800. Vermont Academy embraces the concept of having students actively participate in a class as opposed to passive learning. The Academy's goal is to discover the possibilities that lie beyond the traditional four walls of the classroom and work with students in more progressive methods that encourage and stimulate different types of learners. The Academy's athletic offerings focus on this type of experiential education. Sports include cross country, biking, and Nordic skiing; varsity and junior varsity athletic teams compete weekly against teams from all around New England. == History == The school was founded in 1876. It originally included a lower school for younger boys and the school gave "special attention to life in the open". In 1934, Dartmouth College president Ernest Martin Hopkins recommended a fellow Dartmouth graduate for the job of headmaster of Vermont Academy. Laurence G. Leavitt was headmaster for 25 years, during which time he doubled enrollment, retired the school's debt and made many improvements to the school's campus.〔(Laurence G.
