Finding each individual's optimum balance between athletics and academics is what Killington Mountain School is all about. A Vermont State approved, independent school, KMS has been teaching student-athletes in grades 7-12 the values of hard work and commitment, both in the classroom and on the slopes, for more than 30 years.
HOW I T WORKS
The KMS approach is unparalleled and centers around:
• small classes.
• true individualization of instruction.
• caring teachers who drive students to succeed.
• a recognition that academic achievement is crucial to lifelong success.
As part of the KMS experience, students develop an ability to use their time wisely and responsibly as they strive for both academic and athletic excellence.
The Curriculum
Killington Mountain School covers traditional middle and high school curricula at all levels, including honors and Advanced Placement (AP). If you are interested in learning more about the unique tutorial structure at KMS or have questions, please contact Elliot Kraut, Director of Academics.
Transition To and From KMS
Each fall, KMS teachers begin working closely with each student-athlete's sending school to establish clear expectations and coordinate academic requirements that students must me during their time at KMS. This process guarantees that each student-athlete's academic curriculum is tailored to meet the sending school's expectations and ensures a seamless and successful transition back in the spring.
