Three Ways to Enroll as a Non-Craftsbury Resident

Craftsbury Academy offers exciting enrollment options for students. We invite you to start a conversation by reaching out to our administration! We would love to share information about how Craftsbury Schools provide an inclusive, rich, individualized education for all our students. There are so many great reasons to attend Craftsbury Academy. Contact us today to arrange a tour and learn more about our school.

1. Hazenbury Exchange Program Option

OPEN TO: Craftsbury Academy (CA) and Hazen Union School (HUS) students entering grades 7-12 can apply.

DETAILS: This unique exchange program allows CA and HUS students to enroll as full-time students at the other school. Enrollment is on a rolling, first-come, first-served basis, and must be a reciprocal exchange. This means there has to be a student in the other school that is also requesting a transfer.

2. Winooski Valley Regional Public School Choice Collaborative Option

OPEN TO: Students within the Winooski Valley catchment area, entering grades 9-12, can apply to attend Craftsbury Academy.

DETAILS: Winooski Valley School Choice allows students to attend other public high schools in the state. Applications open up in early February each year. Students receive notification of acceptance by April 1. You must apply for Winooski Valley School Choice through the high school in the town you are a resident.

3. Non-Operating Tuition Option

DETAILS: Craftsbury Academy is an option for middle school and high school for any town that does not operate a middle school or high school (Wolcott and Standard for example). There is no cost for these students to attend Craftsbury Academy. Transportation is the responsibility of either the family or the sending town.
