Austine, VA team up - Brattleboro Reformer
A collaboration between the Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Brattleboro and the Vermont Academy in Saxtons River that will allow students at Austine School to take classes on the VA campus.
"Our aim is always to provide the greatest access to opportunities for our students," said Bert Carter, President for VCDHH, in press release announcing the collaboration. "This offers our students the best of all possible worlds. They can be immersed in the rigor of a prep school program, receive educational support tailored to their needs, and participate in a close-knit Deaf and Hard of Hearing community."
Vermont Academy has a long history of working with students from a variety of backgrounds, said Sean P. Brennan, Head of School of Vermont Academy, in the press release.
"We have a welcoming community that is enriched by the differences each member brings to the larger whole, and I am confident that students from Austine will both add to our vibrant community and gain from it as well," he said.
The new partnership with Vermont Academy adds another alternative to Austine’s current program in which high school students attend most of the school day at Brattleboro Union High School, where they have access to a full range of academic and technical training resources.
The Vermont Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing provides educational and support services for people with hearing loss and their families.
The Austine School serves Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in pre-K through high school. The school’s multi-faceted approach draws elements from the Montessori Method and the State of Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities to encourage both independent and collaborative learning development.
Vermont Academy students are encouraged to view challenges as opportunities, take risks, and discover their talents. The school’s program is designed for college-bound students who enjoy a comfortable combination of structure and support.
