It operates as a small school designed for students who have had difficulty with education in other settings, with a nearly one-to-one ratio between students and faculty, and a tuition, room, and board (as of 2013) in excess of $53,000 per student.

[1] The campus is located on Rock Point, a 146-acre parcel of land owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont.

It became the Rock Point School in 1928, and began admitting boys in 1972.

The Hopkins Hall building, named for Bishop John Henry Hopkins, is known for an outstanding collection of stained glass windows.

The school also has a small sugar house, and in 2012 completed the largest solar power installation in Burlington.
