River Branch Academics

As each branch of a river carves a unique path around its natural barriers, students need to navigate through the process of learning despite the systematic and personal obstacles they encounter. Education is a unique experience for everyone. Previous academic experiences, specific learning challenges, and anxiety can all affect the motivation and confidence students need to be enthusiastic about learning. 

Students are empowered when they become familiar with their own learning style, and learn to use tools that will help them become successful and passionate learners. By building on individual strengths, students build the confidence they need to become self advocates and challenge themselves in the classroom and beyond.

In rural Vermont, collaboration between educators, community members, and other local resources is essential to serving the needs of all of our youth. River branch is dedicated to fostering these connections and to encouraging creative approaches to learning.
