"Stratton Mountain School provides a unique environment that offers each student the opportunity to pursue excellence in competitive winter sports and college preparatory academics while developing strong personal values."

Stratton Mountain School students and graduates have included over 100 National Team Placements and Olympians, and several Olympic medalists. Our graduates attend and often compete for many of the top colleges and universities in the world, where their unique experience in a demanding academic and athletic environment has proven to be outstanding preparation for the rigors of college and university level academics and the professional world that awaits them.

 The Ideal Candidate Possesses:

• Knowledge and passion for teaching math and working with middle and high school aged students.
