River Valley Technical Center

The River Valley Technical Center (RVTC) is located in Springfield, Vermont and is open to all students in grades 11 - 12. There are two sessions; morning and afternoon. Students who participate in the morning session will need to arrive at BFUHS early (through their own transportation means) in order to catch the bus that goes to RVTC. All other transportation is provided between BFUHS and the tech. center within the school day.

Many of the programs at RVTC offer the opportunity for the student to earn an “embedded credit” in an academic area upon successful completion of the 2-year program. For example, students who successfully complete the 2-year carpentry program are eligible for one embedded math credit which can be used toward the BFUHS graduation requirement for math. In addition, several of the RVTC programs offer the opportunity for college credits.

Students entering grade 10 who are interested in finding out more about the options available within technical education may enroll in the RVTC pre-technical program.
