At Hampstead Academy, foundational skills in literacy, mathematics, and critical thinking form the core of our Lower School academic program. Students progress at their own pace within a structured, supportive framework guided by Individual Learning Plans (ILPs). Each ILP is developed collaboratively and reviewed throughout the school year with teacher, parent, and student input. Assessments provide valuable reference points to inform instruction and goal setting, helping teachers respond intentionally to each child’s strengths, needs, and growth.

Learning at Hampstead Academy extends well beyond traditional academic blocks. Project-Based Learning (PBL) is intentionally woven throughout the week, giving students opportunities to ask meaningful questions, investigate real-world problems, make connections across subject areas, and create work with authentic purpose.
