🎉 We’re celebrating an exciting milestone at Soar Learning Center! 🎉

On December 17th, Soar Learning Center proudly welcomed a team from the Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) for an onsite visit and comprehensive review as part of our renewal process as an approved general education and special education therapeutic school.

We’re thrilled to share that the AOE has indicated they will be recommending Soar Learning Center for the maximum five-year endorsement as an independent therapeutic school to the State Board of Education. 🌟

Principal Michael Bombard is scheduled to meet with the Board of Education in February to formally finalize this endorsement.

This is a tremendous accomplishment and a true reflection of the dedication, professionalism, and heart of our staff. Huge kudos and heartfelt thanks to the entire Soar team for a successful visit and for the incredible work you do every day for our students and families! 💙👏
