Pearls and Seaweed:
The Mountain School Newsletter
Welcome to Pearls and Seaweed, The Mountain School’s official newsletter celebrating life on our hilltop campus in Vershire, Vermont.
Through student stories, faculty insights, and alumni reflections, we share the essence of experiential education, where learning happens through both academic exploration and hands-on farm work.
Named for the treasures we find—both precious and unexpected—Pearls and Seaweed captures the transformative power of a semester at the Mountain School.
