Students must successfully demonstrate mastery of four specific skill areas prior to, and as a requirement for, graduation. Students who have achieved proficiency in the Vermont State Colleges Graduation Standards  are better able to work effectively with others, live as informed and involved community members, and think critically in order to solve problems and make decisions.
