Vermont independent school for grades 7-12 with specialized support for learning differences and ADD/ADHD
The Sharon Academy (TSA) is a Vermont state-approved independent middle and high school (grades 7–12) serving 161 students in Sharon, Vermont. TSA offers specialized support for students with learning differences and ADD/ADHD, making it a welcoming option for families seeking a small school environment tailored to diverse learning needs. With an average class size of 28 students and 64% of faculty holding advanced degrees, TSA combines academic rigor with individualized attention.
The school's curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and student potential while accommodating different learning styles through its learning difference programs and ADD/ADHD support services.
