Our History Lyndon Institute was founded in 1867. In the course of its history, the campus has served as home to the Lyndon Commercial College in 1886, and the Vermont School of Agriculture, founded in 1910 by Theodore N. Vail, the first president of New England Telephone Company and the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T). In 1923, the name was officially changed to Lyndon Institute. From 1923 to 1951, the Institutue provided both secondary and post-secondary educational programs to area students. In 1951, the post-secondary programs moved further up Vail Hill to become Lyndon State College. In 2003 Lyndon Institute re-established its boarding program.
Our Campus Lyndon Institute is made up of three campuses: Darling, Harris, and Vail. The buildings, laboratories, workshops, and athletic venues of these campuses represent the blending of academic and practical learning and the school and extracurricular activities that characterize LI life.
