Kurn Hattin Home and School for Children

Kurn Hattin Home and School for Children A non-profit, donor-supported home and school for great kids from challenging backgrounds since 1894 We positively transform childrens’ lives.

Founded in 1894, Kurn Hattin Homes for Children is a non-profit, donor-supported residential home and school that provides social and emotional support, enriching life experiences, high-quality education, and basic stability for children ages 5-15 whose families face difficult circumstances. On our countryside campus in Westminster, Vermont, the skilled, caring staff creates a safe, welcoming envi

ronment for children to live and learn. Here, kids reside in supervised, home-like cottages, and attend our full-accredited K-8 school, where they are challenged by innovative, ability-based academics and nurtured by expert teachers in small classes. Together—working closely with families, volunteers, referring school districts, alumni, and donors—we create lasting change, one child at a time. Our proven model for successfully launching children into the next phase of their lives shows that here, hope has a home.

Sharing the bounty of the Kurn Hattin garden!

Our Farm to School garden stand is overflowing today with fresh produce and sunflowers, all grown right here on campus and shared with Kurn Hattin staff, families, and our neighbors.

Children have been part of the garden from planting and tending through harvest, watching a season’s worth of work turn into an abundance that can be shared with our community.

A pretty wonderful harvest—and a beautiful example of what Farm to School looks like at Kurn Hattin.

Weekend fun is better with friends!

The first weekend of the new school year gave everyone a chance to settle back in, spend time with old friends, make some new ones, and just have some fun together.

From hanging out around campus to games, outdoor adventures, and a trip to the Edgar May Health & Recreation Center for some time in the pool, the first weekend back was packed with fun, friends, and plenty of laughs—a great way to kick off the year and enjoy the last days of summer.

Here’s to a year full of good friends and good times!

And we’re BACK!

Kurn Hattin’s campus is coming back to life as children return to their cottages, reconnect with friends and staff, and welcome some new faces to the Kurn Hattin community.

There was a little something extra waiting for families at drop-off, too—fresh vegetables from our garden to take home!

Now the bags are unpacked, classrooms are busy, and the 2026–27 school year is officially underway. It’s great to have everyone back!

All hands on deck!

As part of Training Week, Kurn Hattin staff stepped away from their usual roles for a Community Work Day across campus. Teams worked on the family apartment, tended to the vegetable garden, marked trails, made T-shirts for the children, weeded flower beds, and organized the new library space.

A productive afternoon, a lot accomplished, and a chance to come together before the children return!

You've probably talked to AI, but do you ever wonder what it's saying to our children?

Join us at Kurn Hattin's 32nd Annual Fall Conference on October 23rd for Policy, Practice, and Promise: AI's Impact on Children's Development.

In this professional development workshop, Drs. Xu and Landesman from the Child-Centered AI Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education will introduce what current research does—and does not—tell us about AI's impact on children's development.

Educators, counselors, and therapists can earn Continuing Ed Credits and leave better equipped to ask critical questions about AI, interpret emerging research evidence, and support children's learning and well-being in an AI-rich world.
