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 IMPACT 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 a 15:1 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.

“Educating children by age group assumes that the most important thing they have in common is their date of manufacture.” - Sir Ken Robinson

Each child is unique in so many ways and so should be their educational journey. Children vary in strengths both academically and developmentally, so in each classroom, children just enjoy being together. At Hampstead Academy, we place students in classrooms by similar ages where they receive instruction at their level and make friends with students of different ages, much in the same manner they'll experience in the real world.
