Hampstead Academy is a small, personalized K-8 independent school in Hampstead, NH, specifically designed to support students with mild learning differences, ADD/ADHD, and other learning needs. With an average class size of just 6 students and 90% of faculty holding advanced degrees, the school creates an individualized learning environment where each child progresses at their own pace. This approach is particularly beneficial for students who thrive in smaller, flexible settings that accommodate diverse learning styles.
The school's multi-sensory, experiential IMPACT Education Model is tailored to help students develop foundational skills in language, math, and social-emotional growth while building confidence and independence. Teachers guide rather than lead, using inquiry-based projects that are tailored to each student's strengths and interests. This personalized approach ensures that students with learning differences receive the scaffolding and attention they need to succeed academically and socially.
Hampstead Academy welcomes students from PreK through 8th grade with rolling admissions and tuition starting at $14,000 annually (varying by grade level). The school's combination of small cohorts, trained faculty, adaptive curriculum, and commitment to student-directed learning makes it a strong option for families seeking an alternative to traditional schools where their child's learning differences are understood and supported.
