About

On Thursday, October 1 through Sunday, October 4, Vermont Academy will welcome all members of our Wildcat community back to campus for a combined Family Weekend, Reunion Weekend, and a special 150th anniverary weekend.

We invite all families of current students, alumni, past and current faculty members, and trustees back to our hilltop for this exciting event! Fall is a beautiful time to visit campus, spend time with your child, learn more about their VA experience, meet their friends, and connect with other Vermont Academy families. A classic and festive fall weekend in Vermont is on tap.

On the schedule you’ll find time to have family/faculty conferences, spend the morning visiting your child’s classes, attend Cabaret (our fall performing arts night), view a special showing of the film created just for our 150th, a chance to chat with Head of School Mike Peller, and conclude the weekend with an amazing a farm to table celebratory dinner for the memory books!

Check out the full schedule for the weekend from the menu above.

Coming soon>>>a sneak peek at our 150th Celebration Auction! Keep an eye out for a range of experiences from trips to exciting locations, tickets to professional sporting events, and some of our classic VA entries! All proceeds from the auction support Vermont Academy.
