Please feel free to contact VMS anytime. We are in the office year round and would be delighted to hear from you whether you are local and considering a change of schools, or visiting and contemplating relocation to the valley.

Jen has been a Vail Valley resident for over 30 years despite being born in Boston. As is a common story, it happened after taking a post collegiate adventure and falling in love with the mountain lifestyle. Her family (son and daughter who are proud VMS graduates, husband, and Dixie the black lab) feel lucky to be able to hike, mountain bike, and ski some of the most beautiful terrain anywhere. 

Jeremy Thelen
Director of Admission, Middle and Upper School (6-12)

Jeremy moved to the mountains of Colorado in 1990 and taught skiing at Keystone Resort for 13 years. After a four-year stint working in the charter school network in Providence, RI, Jeremy, and his wife, Kerri, answered the call to return to the mountains, enjoying the amazing quality of life with their three kids.  In his spare time, Jeremy enjoys coaching soccer, cooking, traveling, and spending time with his family and two Golden Retrievers, Jager and Harley.

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience at VMS so far. We are so impressed with the caring environment and engaging academics... and fun sports to top it off!Middle School Parent
