For decades, South Burlington High School has built a proud tradition of educating students who hail from outside the city limits. Nearly 20% of our students come from towns outside of South Burlington, including Grand Isle County and Georgia. We also have students from nearby Chittenden County towns who choose SBHS through the School Choice program. We offer busing to and from SBHS for our students in Grand Isle County and Georgia. See below for more information.
SBHS is known for fostering a welcoming and accepting environment that allows students to be who they are and follow their unique passions and interests. We work hard to support students of all abilities and from all backgrounds to help them achieve their goals.
What our non-resident students say about SB:
“SBHS is really good academically, and there are enough people here that you can always make friends. I thought Essex was so big that you’d get lost, and there are the private schools that have only 80 kids…SB is a nice in-between.” -CM
