Here Are A Few FAQs

We understand that traditional education is not always the best way to prepare students for success in today’s world. The days of sitting in rows, listening to lectures, taking notes and memorizing information for tests does not create critical, creative thinkers and leaders. Our learning model is inquiry-based, action-oriented and recognizes and honors the passions and talents of the individual student.

Many modern public schools are overcrowded with some classes even being instructed in hallways. At Hampstead Academy, our classes are small and do not exceed an 8:1 Pre-K and 15:1 K-8 student to teacher ratio.

Staff continually collaborates in order to differentiate all CORE subject lessons to make sure each individual student is receiving instruction at their level. If a child is working above their grade level, we provide instruction appropriately to keep them challenged and moving along comfortably. If a child needs more time to review or learn things differently, we provide instruction to help them achieve mastery.

With the fast paced environment of our current world, it’s easy to forget to take time to stop and connect with ourselves and those around us each day to make sure we’re doing okay. Think about how a crazy morning can affect the rest of your day.

Each morning students and staff greet each other with a combined K-grade 8 group of students using the Zones of Regulation program and discuss how to remember to keep others' feelings in mind before we begin our day working in groups on different projects and activities.

Only families can decide what is right for their child. However, the application process at Hampstead Academy is quite thorough and includes a mandatory tour which will certainly give you a sense of whether Hampstead Academy is the right fit. We also offer a shadow day experience for your child to fully immerse in our authentic learning environment, when school is in session. The process of applying would give you the opportunity to make the most informed decision.
