About Us

Vermont Permanency Initiative is part of Mount Prospect Academy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping adolescents overcome challenges and build successful futures through education, treatment, and supportive services.

Vermont Permanency Initiative (VPI), a program at Mount Prospect Academy, provides residential, educational, clinical, and permanency-focused services for adolescents and young adults. Our mission is to help youth build meaningful connections, develop life skills, and achieve long-term success through compassionate, trauma-informed care.

Welcome to ATX Learning

Mount Prospect Academy offers a 220 day academic program and 365 day intensive residential program. We serve 85 male students who range from 11 to 21 years old.

The state of New Hampshire has identified our students for intensive residential placement and in-home social services. MPA students can be clinically identified as emotionally handicapped, learning disabled, autistic, or other health impaired. We also serve students with psychiatric and judicial issues. MPA has developed an expert understanding of this difficult-to-serve population's needs. Our programs regularly receive students from the care of their families, New Hampshire's Division of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), The Sununu Youth Services Center, and intermediate care facilities such as the Nashua Children' Home, the Dover Children' Home, the Webster House, and the Orion House.

MPA's mission is to provide a caring, safe therapeutic environment where students have the opportunity grow and acquire the skills they need to reach their educational and social potential. We aim to develop trusting relationships with students and facilitate experiences that promote their ability to self-regulate; manage thoughts and feelings; and develop feelings of safety, confidence, and competency.
