GREEN MOUNTAIN ACADEMY
FOR LIFELONG LEARNING
“The Green Mountain Academy
programs are exceptional. I’m
amazed how they consistently
find such a diverse range of
world-class experts and talented
teachers, and make them so
accessible to everyone through-
out The Shires. It’s a virtual
university right in our backyards.”
