   Senior: When I first started at ASD in sixth grade, I was determined to go somewhere else for high school. Now, I’m a senior, and staying was the best choice I ever made.
   ASD might be small and nerdy, but it has an incredible community. The teachers aren’t there for the money; they’re there because they’re passionate and knowledgeable. The students all know and support each other.
   We’re best known for our academics, and for good reason. The high-school-level classes start in 7th grade, and they remain challenging and innovative all the way through 12th.

   Middle School Student: I go here it is awesome! Everyone is so welcoming and is very kind and I already have a ton of friends. Curriculum is tough, but worth it, and you are still able to do out of school activities. Staff and Admins are amazing and genuinely care about the students education. There is a wide array of after-school clubs including but not limited to: Drama Club, Book Club, Sci-Fi Club, First Lego League, Math Counts, Science Quiz Bowl, and Band. Do note that the only sport they have is Middle School Cross-Country but you are able to participate in sports in your district.

   Senior: I have been attending the Girls Athletic Leadership School since 6th grade. I entered this school now knowing what to expect, but have since been guided into being a powerful young woman who advocates for her needs. This is not just an institution, it’s a family. I have learned so much about myself while attending this school. I know who I am, I know that I matter, and I know what matters to me. I pay attention to what I feel and what I need. I take good care of my body. I let others know what I feel, even when I’m angry, confused, or in disagreement with anyone else. I am a valuable friend. I KNOW that with what I’ve learned in this community, that I can make a positive difference in the world in my own unique way. That is the GALS pledge, and I will stand by it for the rest of my life…. Read 14 reviews

   Parent: Very safe and friendly environment for my children. The school wants the parents to get engaged in the school community which I appreciate so much. Zero bullying issues. My children feel respected and loved in this school. The teachers are happy and eager to communicate with the parents regarding any issue. The administrative team is very helpful and responsible. Reading, languages and art are great in the school , Math is not as strong , I have to work with my children at home. Science studies are very limited. Overall a great environment to help you raise well adjusted children but you have to work with them to fill some academic gaps, and it works perfectly for me. … Read 2 reviews

The community at Founder’s is also good; I’ve never seen any bullying in my 5 years of attendance. The worst thing about this school is the lack of AP classes.

All of my children received the individual attention they needed and all came away from their experience there with improved critical thinking skills, an appreciation for all art forms,a love for learning and growing as an individual and artist and a strong sense of what it means to be a world citizen. Though all my children have chosen different paths GSAA was behind each one in every way. My youngest and most driven student was accepted to Dartmouth and will be attending in fall of 2020, without GSAA and the individual attention and encouragement he received there, I highly doubt he would have been accepted to an Ivy League school.

    Senior: My four years at Manchester Memorial High School have been very influential in my life and the person I have become. Every school has it’s flaws and Memorial is no different, however, when looking at the bigger picture I can see that the flaws are outweighed by the overwhelmingly good experiences I have had there. Some of the flaws that I have seen include the inability to keep staff/the district cutting down on courses, scheduling errors due to cut courses, and only having one time a popular class is given. These flaws are outweighed by benefits such as a caring, friendly, and understanding teaching staff; nice lunch ladies and good food; and the overall spirit of the school. Memorial is a spirited school and though we are a competitive lot we all come together at the end of the day in a pretty great community. Joining clubs and school-lead organizations such as the Art Club and Student Council have helped me realize just how great my high school experience could be. Roll ‘Sades!… Read 387 reviews

We tried Denver Academy as a last ditch effort because the boys really preferred the variety of social possibilities to homeschooling.

30. Alum: TARA is a school like no other. As a high schooler who went to three other schools ranging from public to private, TARA far outshines the opportunities, support, and classes that I took and experienced elsewhere. I came to TARA during my senior year with the support and tenacity of the leadership council and my classmates! They truly are miracle workers and wholeheartedly care for the school, the students, and meaningful experiential education. I would have never been able to travel and experience the trips and productions we went on and were a part of (in Covid times) had I been anywhere else. The classes are small, lovely, experiential, and taught by passionate teachers. The trips are, life-changing, perspective-altering, academic, confidence cultivating, and provide time to connect with your peers and learn more about yourself. As a host student, my time at TARA was significantly different than my non-host peers, but the experience taught me so much that I will take into life…. Read 28 reviews

Therapeutic boarding school in Manchester, New Hampshire

Therapeutic boarding school in Manchester, New Hampshire

Traditional schools in Manchester, New Hampshire have failed to meet the needs of every student, and in recent decades more attention has been paid to identifying mental health problems among teenagers in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Traditional methods failed them, as adults once did when faced with addiction or other criminal behavior; a new idea emerged that placing these troubled teenagers in specialized boarding schools in Manchester, New Hampshire, elsewhere, or even abroad would create an environment in which therapeutic help could be provided without disturbing the little stability of life that existed at home .

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of specialty schools serving teenagers in Manchester, New Hampshire who are struggling with mental health or addiction.
