About
Two great traditions, one big weekend!
One Day for VA is a celebration of everything that makes Vermont Academy special: the past, present, and future. As we mark 150 years of transformative education, this giving day honors a legacy of excellence, ingenuity, and community. It is also a tribute to a beloved tradition, the oldest independent school Winter Carnival in the country, a symbol of our school spirit and enduring pride!
For 1876 minutes, alumni, students, families, and friends come together to support the future of VA. Because every gift helps carry our legacy from tradition to tomorrow!
