Rising Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors: Take Your Core Classes at the Mountain Campus Next Year!
The Burr and Burton Mountain Campus is excited to announce that four new half-day courses will be held at the Peru campus during the 2025-26 school year! After a year's pause to consider community input and ways to increase enrollment and impact, the Mountain Campus is ready to launch four new two-credit, integrative courses that will fulfill core academic requirements for sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
Taught by current Burr and Burton faculty, the Mountain Campus courses will be held during the regular school day and will allow for enrolled students to participate in any after-school activity. Each half-day course will count for two-credits, and all four courses are offered for CP or honors credit.
New courses available for sophomores are CP Literature, Leadership and Learning in the Outdoors, which fulfills the sophomore English credit and a physical education credit and CP Environmental Chemistry and Literature: Investigating our Impact, which fulfills the sophomore English credit and the chemistry credit.
New courses available for juniors and seniors are CP Conservation Biology and Environmental Literacy: Principles and Practice, which fulfills the junior or senior English credit and the biology credit and CP Vermont Ecology and Data Science, which fulfills the biology credit and one math credit.
You can find the full course descriptions starting on page 32 of the 2025-26 Course of Study. Please reach out to school counselors with any questions about these new courses.
