Our residential program strives to maintain a familial atmosphere, while gradually preparing students for the challenges of independent living in college. Vermont Academy dorm parents, faculty, and staff act “in loco parentis” for our boarding students, assuming the duties and responsibilities of the parent while students are in our care.
Academic Day Hours
Dormitories will be closed from 9:30 a.m. until the start of lunch so that students can maximize the potential of our academic spaces and conference period. After lunch, residential halls are open but are to remain quiet throughout the remainder of the academic day.
Dorm Check-in/Evening Study Period
Students must be in residence halls and physically check-in with the on-duty faculty member and/or proctor prior to evening study period Monday-Thursday at 7:45 p.m., Friday at 8:15 p.m., and Saturday at 11 p.m. with students remaining in residence halls until 6 a.m. the following morning (Sunday).
Formal evening study period will run Monday-Thursday from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday and Sunday from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. During the evening study period, students study in their residence halls, the library, or a designated supervised study area. In order to study outside of the residence hall, students must physically sign out with the adult and/or proctor on duty. They must report to their desired study location by the start of study hall. Students may not be permitted to sign out of residence halls after study hours commence without specific permission from a dorm parent. Students utilizing the entire study period and needing extra time may request “late lights” privilege. All late lights will be turned off by 11:30 p.m.
