Academics

College Counseling & Acceptances

The College Guidance Department at Stratton Mountain School works closely with each student-athlete to assure several options for the future that will lead to continued success for our graduates as they move forward with their educational, athletic, and personal goals.

Beginning Junior Year...

The college selection process begins in earnest during the junior year as student-athletes meet with their counselor, engage in challenging academic curricula, prepare for the SAT, train and compete in their chosen sports, and develop a list of schools to which they will apply. The counselor works in close coordination with SMS coaches, various college coaches, and parents to seek schools that will challenge and reward our students academically and athletically. Our ultimate goal is to help each student-athlete identify and gain admission to the best colleges for their individual needs. To make an appointment, please contact Academic Dean Alex Lehmann at (802) 856-1117.
