• The Richmond School was built in 1924 as an elementary school, but it has served as a middle school since 1970 and now educates sixth through eighth graders from Hanover and Norwich, Vermont. The school is located just blocks from the center of town and the Dartmouth College campus, providing access to people, events, and facilities of enormous value. The Richmond School and Hanover High School comprise the Dresden School District, the first interstate school district in the United States. It was created by legislation in both states and received final approval through an Act of Congress in Washington, D.C. President John F. Kennedy signed the Inter-State Compact into law in November of 1963 - the last piece of legislation signed before his assassination.

Crossroads Academy is an independent day school, committed to academic and moral excellence. We strive to provide today's students with the tools they will need to think clearly, judge responsibly, and act honorably in tomorrow's world. To that end, we commit ourselves to the following goals and objectives:

• To teach the core body of knowledge that students must master in order to function as thoughtful citizens of the United States and members of the world community. We subscribe to the concept of "Core Knowledge" as defined by the Core Knowledge Foundation and explained in the work of E. D. Hirsch, Jr. We pledge ourselves to its promotion in the areas of language arts, geography, world civilization, American civilization, fine arts, science and technology, mathematics and religion.
• To cultivate the learning skills necessary for success in scholarship and daily life; critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, communication, research, and scholarship.
• To promote the moral development of our students in the Jewish and Christian traditions by recognizing the existence of absolutes and affirming man's obligations before God and neighbor; upholding standards of human interaction based on the virtues of courage, prudence, temperance, justice, faith, hope, and charity; encouraging respect for and knowledge about the religious traditions among us; recognizing Biblical literacy, comparative religions, moral reasoning, and ethics as critical educational concerns; fostering the life of the spirit by encouraging children in prayerful reflection.
• To nurture the personal qualities necessary for fruitful thought and action; self-worth and self-discipline; prudence and good judgement; cooperation and collaboration; creativity and initiative.
• To call students to high standards of learning and behavior by emphasizing perseverance, diligence, and concentration; promoting and furthering strong attention span; expecting students to reach high and ask the most of themselves; fostering and expecting empathy, solidarity, and thoughtfulness.
• To promote "democratic literacy" in our students, that is, to promote an understanding of and attachment to democratic principles; to cultivate in students an awareness of their heritage as a free people; and to promote familiarity with the major theorists and activists for democracy from Aristotle to Madison; from Thomas Jefferson to Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Martin Luther King Jr. To provide a classroom and school environment that encourages academic and moral excellence and conveys the worth and dignity of each child, the excitement and joy of learning, the beauty and wonder of life - a life that moves beyond self, the order that is essential to learning and living.

Dartmouth College (one of the Ivies and the ninth oldest college in the nation), Dartmouth is a private, co-educational, four year liberal arts college, founded by the Reverend Eleazar Wheelock in 1769. The institution sits on a 200 acre main campus immediately adjacent to Hanover's downtown business district in the southwestern corner of the township. Dartmouth's undergraduate college is complemented by seventeen graduate programs in the arts and sciences and professional schools including the Tuck School of Business Administration, Thayer School of Engineering, and the Dartmouth Medical School. Dartmouth, with over 4,200 undergraduate and 1200 graduate students, is one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation.

CCV's mission is to deliver quality, affordable post-secondary education in local Vermont communities and in innovative and flexible ways. The College is a public, two-year, open admissions institution providing degree, transfer, occupational, and continuing education opportunities. Special emphasis is given to Vermonters who would otherwise have limited access to college because of a number of barriers, including low income, lack of academic preparation, family obligations, time constraints, or geographic remoteness. To fulfill its mission, CCV offers classes in communities throughout Vermont, selects instructors from within those communities, and draws upon local resources and facilities.

For thousands of Vermonters, the Community College of Vermont offers the opportunity to pursue an Associate Degree, improve professional skills, or enrich personal development. CCV students are people of all ages, professions, and economic groups who attend classes in their own communities. Instructors are knowledgeable practitioners in their fields as well as skilled teachers.

The Upper Valley Teacher Institute is a fully accredited teacher preparation and certification program, based in classrooms and designed for adult college graduates who have usually had other careers before deciding to become teachers. UVTI differs from university postgraduate programs in education. Since teaching is an art best learned through practice, UVTI reverses the percentage of time traditionally allotted to academic theory and classroom practice. Each participant works full time as an intern in a classroom under the supervision of a mentor teacher. This practical experience is reinforced by weekly seminars and support from supervisors. By the end of the 10-month training period, graduates have studied the topics normally covered in conventional academic programs, and they also have a full year of teaching experience.
