Join us for a night of theater on March 22, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. Our students are excited to share original 10-minute plays written for the Vermont Young Playwright's Festival and scenes from Shakespeare!

The event is cancelled as of 3/21/24 due to predicted snow storm! Join us on March 23, 2024, for a fun 5k race starting at Rock Point School to celebrate maple sugaring season! The 5k racecourse will go through the Rock Point Property next to our sugarbush and on the Burlington Bike Path.

Before December break, we had a very special visitor at Rock Point! Spot the Robot came to show us some of what is possible in the field of robotics. Rob Collier, parent of a Rock Point Student and a manager at Boston Dynamics, volunteered to bring Spot to school to introduce students to robotics. We were thrilled to learn more about this expanding discipline!

Before the December Vacation, we held a Model U.N. at Rock Point School! In all cores, students spent one or two social studies classes a week since Thanksgiving break preparing for this conference by researching their country and its views over time to form an opinion and speak knowledgeably about a given topic. It was a big ask in a short time, and students truly rose to the occasion.

Our students are excited to share their perspectives on our small, supportive day and boarding high school during this virtual student panel. They will speak about their favorite parts of the program, like learning to snowboard with Burton CHILL, building sculptures with natural materials in art class, or working on creative writing in English. They'll also highlight what it's like to live in Burlington, Vermont, and what makes our school unique.

Each year, our teachers work with students to offer electives that appeal to their interests. This fall, our English teacher, Kristy, collaborated with a group of students to create a Makeup and Hair Design Elective, in part to prepare for our school play this spring and, in part to offer a new avenue for creative expression at school.
