The Scholars' Academy, a private elementary school for New Hampshire's gifted children, will open it's doors Fall 2009!

-Parents will have the peace of mind knowing that The Scholars'
Academy understands and meets the needs of each individual child.

-Our low student/teacher ratio provides personal attention and real relationships.

Is the school going to be in Manchester itself or in a suburb? What ages/grades will it be for?

The tuition isn't too bad either. $7,500 for a full year is about the same as many Catholic elementary schools in my area.

It will be in the greater Manchester area and the ages are 5-12 years old. Curriculum levels will be determined by the abilities of the students and not an actual grade level.

Has an actual location been picked? I have relatives in the area, that's why I'm asking.

Not yet. Since the school doesn't open until the fall they are actually trying to wait to pick an exact location so they can save on rent/lease money. They have looked at a few different locations recently. One off exit 1 in Manchester and one off exit 9N in Hooksett.

Any update about the academy? Is it going to become a reality for you?

We really hope that it will be a reality. Right now we have a location, a teacher and 7 students. Realistically it would be better to open with closer to 10 students. Know anyone in the Southern NH area who is looking for a school for gifted children??

oh- I really hope the school takes off! I'm in Central NH and my son is showing signs of giftedness.
He's 2- so maybe the school will do well and he'll attend someday.

Just wanted to give a quick update: The school opened on Tuesday, September 8th with 8 students. So far DS6 is enjoying himself and things are going well. They are still accepted applications for the current school year if you know someone is Southern NH who is interested.
