About Us

From the moment your child steps through our doors at Fayston Elementary School, they are welcomed into a vibrant educational experience that balances academic excellence with social and emotional growth. Nestled in the beautiful Mad River Valley, in the shadow of Mad River Glen and Sugarbush ski resorts, our rural Vermont elementary school is part of the Harwood Unified Union School District (HUUSD).

With around 120 students in PK-6th grade, we take pride in our close-knit learning community, where every child’s unique strengths and abilities are nurtured. Our dedicated and compassionate staff is committed to helping students reach their full potential—both inside and outside the classroom. Education at Fayston is not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about fostering well-rounded, confident, and caring individuals who are ready to succeed in an ever-changing world.

Our school is a reflection of a supportive and engaged community that deeply values education and personal connections. If you have not yet visited Fayston Elementary, I encourage you to stop by—I would be thrilled to give you a tour and share more about our dynamic learning environment.

Be well,

Justina Boyden
