Since 1894, Kurn Hattin Home and School for Children has offered new beginnings to children from families facing challenges. As a donor-supported, year-round residential and academic community, we provide structure, support, and belonging. Here, children ages 5–15 can discover their strengths and build toward a brighter future.

 

Located on 280 acres in Southern Vermont, our campus offers space to play, explore, and grow through sports, outdoor adventures, and creative discovery. Children reside on campus in cottages overseen by trained, supportive houseparents who are in close communication with their families.

 

Our state-approved K–8 school features small classes, experienced teachers, and an individualized approach to learning. Students are supported academically, socially, and emotionally, with a strong focus on building confidence, communication, and character.

 

From music and expressive arts to hands-on learning and life skills, children at Kurn Hattin find a nurturing environment where they can thrive.
