History

Established in 1978.

Hampstead Academy was founded 38 years ago with a passion for Educating the Whole Child. While aspects of the school have changed over the years — the growth of enrollment, the school’s physical space, the integration of technology into the curriculum, the development of competitive sport programs at the Upper School level — the school’s driving philosophy remains the same. That passion for whole child education that called the Director to open the doors of the Atkinson Learning Center decades ago, remains evidenced today by the dedication of staff and programming to offer the highest caliber of academic excellence while attending not only to the cognitive developmental needs of our students, but to their social, emotional, physical and creative developmental needs, as well.

Attending students come from a 20 mile radius — Atkinson, Exeter, Brentwood, Kingston, Derry, Windham, Pelham, Hampstead, Salem, Chester and Stratham, NH and Haverhill, Newburyport, Andover, Andover and Methuen.
