Fieldstone Academy

Ut Radix, Ita Fructus

Founded 1911 — Fieldstone, Vermont

An education built stone by stone,
not all at once.

Fieldstone Academy has prepared young minds for one hundred and fifteen years on the same forty acres of granite and maple. Small classes, a working farm, a library that never closes, and faculty who stay for decades, not semesters.

The Curriculum

Four Departments, One Method

Each course of study is taught in small seminar, not lecture — no class exceeds eighteen students.
DEPT. 01 — LETTERS

Humanities & Language

Four years of seminar-based literature and history, plus Latin, French, or Mandarin from the first year onward.

DEPT. 02 — NUMBER

Mathematics & Science

Lab-first science teaching, from the campus greenhouse to the machine shop, paired with a proof-based math track.

DEPT. 03 — HAND

Arts & the Trades

Woodworking, ceramics, and printmaking sit in the same building as painting and orchestra — craft is not an elective here.

DEPT. 04 — FIELD

Land & Athletics

A working student farm, cross-country skiing from the back door, and a full interscholastic athletics program.

Campus Life

Boarding houses of eighteen, not one hundred and eighty.

Four faculty-led houses anchor residential life, each with its own hearth room, kitchen, and Sunday supper tradition dating to the 1920s.

Students keep the same advisor for all four years — a relationship the school considers as important as any transcript line.

01
The Farm

Six acres, tended by students, supplying the dining hall in season.

02
Millbrook Library

Open past midnight, staffed by a resident faculty librarian.

03
The Shop

A working wood and metal shop shared by art, science, and robotics.

04
Chapel Hill

Weekly all-school gathering, non-denominational, since 1911.

“We measure the school not by the size of its buildings, but by how long a student remembers a single afternoon in one of them.”
— Eleanor Voss, Head of School, 1994–present
