Sean Brennan, Vermont Academy‘s Head of School talks about the strengths and underlying values of VA that he has come to understand during his first year as head.

Relationships knit VA into a tight community. VA students benefit from healthy relationships with involved adults. Everyone helps; kids help; adults help. Paraphrasing Brennan- Everyone working hard, everyone playing hard, gives everyone the opportunity to succeed.

Brennan also talks about one of his own strengths that he’s brought to VA- communication. He writes a blog “Brennan Bits” from the head’s point of view through which he observes and communicates VA’s life and happenings.
