The students at Kindle Farm benefit from a setting which provides multiple hands-on learning experiences, an appreciation of Multiple Intelligences, a 3:1 or strong student to staff ratio, and an understanding that every student wakes up in the morning wanting to succeed.

In 2010, Kindle Farm partnered with Health Care and Rehabilitation Services of Southern Vermont (HCRS). This partnership has greatly enhanced Kindle Farm's delivery of clinical services. Kindle Farm School, as a division of HCRS is a 501(c)3, not-for profit organization.

Kindle Farm School serves boys and young men from Windham and southern Windsor counties in Vermont and Cheshire and Sullivan counties in New Hampshire. Most of the students at Kindle Farm receive Special Education services in accordance with Individualized Education Plans and 504 plans that are created in collaboration with their sending school districts. All of our students are referred by their home school districts.
