Welcome to Vandermont

Join us as we use research-based pedagogies and brain science to reimagine education in a joyful and Christ-filled environment!

We offer a 21st Century Education program made for today's generation of eager learners.

It should be the goal of education to learn not only about foundational academics but also about who God made us. What are areas of strength and challenge? What are their passions and God-given talents, and how can they contribute to the world around them purposefully, compassionately, and in a strong way? We encourage our Lions to be their best selves every day while focusing on the Fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in congruent with Habits of Mind such as grit, determination, perseverance, growth mindset, initiative, and productivity.

We provide a genuinely unique method of teaching. We go beyond the conventional teaching methods of lectures, assignments, high-stakes tests, and grades by utilizing the most recent advances in cognitive science and technology. Our students at Vandermont receive their education in mixed-age, collaborative classrooms where their age does not limit their capabilities. With learning plans just for them, each learner is given a challenge by our adaptable approach, and real-world projects and experiences inspire them.

Learners develop the ability to create and attain their own goals while fostering independence of thinking and enthusiasm for learning. They focus on discovering who they are and what will best prepare them for life in the real world. Success isn't measured by grades but rather by how hard people strive to achieve their personal goals and the growth that is taking place. We want kids to be kids and grow into upstanding young adults while empowering them to take charge of their learning and lead confident and purposeful lives!

"We absolutely love Vandermont! The staff here is incredible, creating a nurturing environment where our kids feel safe and truly loved. This is not your average school—the approach to education is unique, blending hands-on activities with student-led learning that empowers our children to take charge of their education. Our kids not only love school, but they've also formed wonderful friendships that will positively shape their futures. We couldn't be happier with the incredible impact Vandermont has had on our family!"

We found Vandermont at a time when my son was struggling with school. He hated going to school, his grades were suffering, and he wasn’t getting the 1 on 1 attention that he needed to help him get caught up. We have been at Vandermont for two years and I have watched my son come out of his shell, his confidence is soaring and it’s no longer a battle to get him up and ready for school because he enjoys going. He has made such progress in his academics, and he takes pride in his performance. Vandermont provides a unique atmosphere for learning that keeps the kids engaged and able to show their individuality. The teachers rally around the kids and truly care about their success. Vandermont was the best decision I could have made for both my kids, and I would recommend it to anyone!
