Lifelong Learners and Active Global Citizens
New Hampton School offers an American boarding experience that is both adventurous and deeply supportive. Our coeducational, college-preparatory community welcomes students in grades 9 through 12, plus postgraduate, to a 350-acre campus in the foothills of New Hampshire's White Mountains. It's quiet, safe, and scenic – yet only 90 minutes from Boston. Thirteen residential houses, each guided by dedicated house parents and house families, create a warm and welcoming home away from home.
A Community That Welcomes the World
Students choose New Hampton because the school's mission centers on developing learners who understand the world and want to engage with it. Respect and responsibility shape daily life, while our inclusive culture brings together students from 28 U.S. states and 30 different countries. With 25% of our student body coming from outside the United States, global perspectives are part of every classroom discussion, activity, and meal shared around campus.
Our curriculum is designed to help students connect ideas, cultures, and real-world issues. They learn to express their viewpoints, listen to others, and build the confidence needed to thrive in any environment. Graduates go on to outstanding universities, including Harvard, MIT, Brown, UCLA, the University of Michigan, and the University of Chicago.
Technology That Expands Possibility
Recognized by Apple for innovation, New Hampton equips every student with an iPad to personalize learning, support language development, and prepare them for modern academic and professional life.
Learning That Comes Alive
From spirited athletics to animation courses developed with the Walt Disney Family Museum, from entrepreneurial studies to a robust arts scene and student-led clubs, New Hampton encourages students to explore widely and discover new interests.
For students who are still developing English proficiency, New Hampton offers a dedicated English Language Learning (ELL) program for 9th and 10th graders and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses begin in grade 11. Small classes – averaging just 11 students – ensure teachers know each student well and guide them with intention. Students who benefit from additional structure can take advantage of our Academic Support Program tutorials or International Support classes to strengthen skills and build confidence.
A Full Life, Every Weekend
Weekends bring a mix of adventure and community: hiking, skiing, concerts, shopping trips, dinners out, and visits to Boston. Students can also propose and design their own outings, giving them agency and independence within a supportive environment.
