School Notes
- The Hunter School is a small, non-profit school where young boys and girls with ADD, ADHD and Asperger's Syndrome are nurtured and celebrated.
- At the core of Hunter's educational philosophy is the work of our founder, Thom Hartmann.
- Our academic program is built on our belief that these children should not be negatively characterized, but instead should be considered to have a constellation of characteristics that lead to unique, and often useful ways of perceiving the world.
- Hunter School approach provides consistent support and feedback to children who are striving to make behavioral changes.
- The vegetarian diet provided to Hunter students provides essential nutrition for brain function and focus.
- Our goal is to prepare every Hunter student for a successful transition back into his or her home and day school environment.
- Although our campus is rural, we are located near two major universities and medical centers, as well as many recreational facilities.
- The Hunter School is approved by the State of New Hampshire Department of Education.
- We are also SEVIS approved to take international students.
- We love what we do and we are blessed to work with the energetic, challenging, inspiring children who are part of our Hunter community.
