Kurn Hattin Home and School for Children

Founded in 1894, Kurn Hattin is a donor-supported residential home and school for children ages 5-15 whose families are experiencing a period of need or instability. We provide every child in our care a safe, caring place where they can learn, play, grow, and experience the joy of childhood.

We have beautiful 280-acre campus in the Southern Vermont countryside offers plenty of fresh air and space for children to play outdoors and enjoy a range of activities from sports, to swimming, hiking, and more.

Our state approved K-8 school features small class sizes and highly trained teachers, ensuring that every student gets the individualized attention they need to make progress and build confidence.

Classes feature an active hands-on approach, while focusing on the academic skills needed to thrive in today’s competitive world.  In addition, social skills are an important focus of the curriculum and help students learn to manage their emotions and build/maintain healthy relationships.
