VAST | |  Is VAST right for you?
For motivated high school seniors, the Vermont Academy of Science and Technology (VAST) is a great opportunity — a chance to complete the senior year of high school and the freshman year of college simultaneously; plus, two semesters of free college tuition for Vermonters and a stimulating environment in which to grow and mature.
Each year, students choose the VAST program at Vermont Technical College to complete their high school requirements. Typically, they have a strong interest and aptitude in math and science, and are willing to work hard in a demanding curriculum. After the VAST year, approximately half of the students remain at Vermont Tech to complete their degree, and half decide to enroll in another college or university.
VAST is also recognized as an independent high school with the authority to grant diplomas, and it is an ideal option for home-schooled students — both because it enables them to secure a diploma, and also because it provides a transition to a more structured academic environment.
