Eagle Bay Academy is a small, learner-centered high school program located on Lake Champlain’s Eagle Bay in Burlington, Vermont. Part of Burlington School District, our program focuses on experiential, project-based learning, which is often led by students. We strive to provide authentic experiences for students who find conventional approaches to learning unfulfilling.
