The Farm Program
The Maplehill School Farm Program provides a careful, individualized opportunity for teens and young adults to complete high school graduation requirements inspite of significant personal challenges. The program utilizes 1:1 support for each student making it possible for the school to effectively addresss each student's disability/ies with accommodations that work.
Designed as a "community-based" option, the Farm Program's course of study provides 4 main areas of activity: functional academics, social literacy, occupational readiness and artistic expression. The working farm setting provides a consistent home-base for the students with built-in diversity in activities. The farm is scaled to be accessable to the student population making it possible for much of the "school work" to be hands-on, experiential, relevant and collaborative.
The Farm Program is set on Maplehill Community Farm, 142 acres of hilltop fields and forests in Marshfield Vermont, just outside of Plainfield Village.
