What We Do
At Vermont Adult Learning, our primary mission is to support you in improving basic skills, earning your high school credential and transitioning to work and/or higher education.
What We Aren’t

• One-on-One tutoring program
Our most successful students…
• Are able to commit to a schedule and attend regularly
• Make their appointments and notify us of absences
• Are realistic about identifying and dealing with potential barriers
• Take responsibility for learning
Taking Responsibility
• Set learning goals based on what I need to know.
• Think about how I learn best, and use those strategies to help myself learn.
• Use all the available resources to learn what I need to learn
• Evaluate whether I’m learning what I’ve set out to learn
• Test out my learning by trying to apply it in real-life situations
Course of Study
