School Notes
The SMS faculty brings years of practical and academic
experience into the classroom. More than 50 percent of our teaching
staff holds a master`s degree. Individually, they are world-class
athletes, historians, physicists, linguists, artists, farmers, and
professional writers. Each faculty member incorporates his or her
passion for teaching and a solid foundation in their field of study
into the curriculum. Our commitment to employ teachers whose sole
responsibility is teaching has resulted in an exceptional legion of
academic staff. Importantly, our teachers have a passion for
education, and they make great strides to ensure SMS student
athletes are successful in the classroom. Stratton Mountain School
offers a rich environment - one that is intellectually challenging
both in and out of the classroom. During their years at SMS, our
student athletes learn to demand excellence from themselves, to
balance high expectations, and to maintain a rigorous schedule.
They develop the crucial ability to translate independence into the
sense of responsibility and maturity they will need to be
successful in college and life beyond. Small classes emphasize the
dynamic learning environment, ensuring each student athlete
receives the attention he or she deserves. The rich learning
environments combine interactive, hands-on application with video
and audio tutorials. During the winter, the academic schedule is
purposely constructed to cater to the aspiring world-class athlete
without diminishing his or her academic course load.
