Our History

 

Dedication to Christian Education has always been the first priority at the Barre Seventh-day Adventist Church.

In 1969, five acres of land were purchased on Vine Street in Berlin and construction of the school began.  The original plan was to divide the building into two rooms, one for the school and the other as the church.  The downstairs housed a full kitchen and a fellowship room.  In 1970, classes began with fifteen students.  Our school has been in continuous operation since then.

In 1999, Mr. Norman Bryant and Mr. Clyde Dailey left the school a wonderful gift to begin expanding the school into a full academy.  These gentlemen had operated the Bryant-Dailey Hardware Store in Barre, Vermont for over sixty years.  Their vision was to expand the elementary program to include a high school where students would also experience opportunities in outdoor education and job apprenticing.  Expansion of the envisioned program, now known as the Central Vermont Academy, broke ground in May 2000.

Presently our school offers a grades 1-12 program.  The facility includes two buildings, housing six classrooms, reception/office, kitchen, and full size gymnasium.   Our Academy building with the gymnasium to its right.
