Academics
Summary: A leader in technology integration, with a 1:1 iPad program, and the first New England boarding school to adopt the International Baccalaureate, our small school in rural New Hampshire will give you the tools to understand the world in which you will lead. Our academic program is geared toward helping students develop informed perspectives on today's global world, along with the critical thinking, technological, communication, and social skills to solve problems and be active global citizens. Our teachers create flexible learning environments to meet the students’ wide range of learning styles. Because technology is a significant factor in creating these learning environments our facilities and schedules are intentionally designed to maximize learning opportunities that technology provides. Our class schedule consists of 70-minute blocks. Students typically take six courses that meet 3-4 times per week. These longer blocks maximize the face time our teachers have with students and minimize transitions. We also provide time in the schedule for students to seek extra help, complete coursework, collaborate with their peers, or to just relax through scheduled open blocks and office hours.
