Rooted in the Land, Connected Across Generations

Your semester on garden hill was just the beginning of a lifelong journey. Whether you were here in fall or spring, the work you did, planting seeds, splitting wood, challenging ideas, and building community, continues to shape who you are.

Now, as part of a network of 3,700+ Mountain School alums across the world, you remain an essential part of this living, learning community. Stay rooted in this place. Stay connected to each other.

Give Financially

Whether you contribute to student scholarships, farm infrastructure, faculty support, or general operations, you help sustain the place and mission that shaped you.

Your donation directly supports the next generation of Mountain Schoolers as they learn, grow, and build community on our hilltop campus.

Share Your Story

Prospective students and families want to know what life at the Mountain School is really like, and no one can tell that story better than you.

Speak at your high school, connect with admitted students, write a short testimonial, or jump on a call with a curious student. Your experience matters, and sharing it helps the right students find their way to Vershire.
