The Sharon Academy expects all of our students to pursue post-secondary training -- whether it is college, university, tech/trade school or other training. As such, we provide extensive assistance throughout the application process for college and other post-secondary education programs. We also provide support for career research and planning so that students can best determine what college or training would be appropriate. These supports happen through PATH, Advisory, and the College/Career Advising Office.
For further information, please contact our Director of College Advising, Kimberly Barnhart, at kbarnhart@sharonacademy.net or call 802-763-2500 x116.
