Program of Studies
The Greenwood School is a small college preparatory boarding and day school in Vermont for students with language-based learning differences in grades 6-12. Students join us from across the United States and around the globe, from as far away as Singapore to Spain.
Founded in 1978 in rural Putney, VT, the Greenwood School’s small enrollment and non-institutional environment provide parents and students a clear alternative to larger, clinically-modeled schools, and to mainstream schools that have added hours of outside remedial tutoring and support programs to their standard curricula.
When you come on campus you'll see students visiting with faculty and administrators, playing with dogs, and enjoying the outdoors on bikes, skateboards, kayaks, skis and snowboards. Our gym, hiking & biking trails, climbing walls, STEAM lab, woodshop, and music and art studios are humming with activity.
Greenwood awakens talent in young students who have not yet found success in traditional schools due to the following:
Our program is highly structured in order to help students with learning differences develop the self-discipline necessary for independent study. At the same time, the school’s overall atmosphere is familial, understanding, and supportive.
