Hampshire Country School
(603) 899-3325
Rindge, New Hampshire
Admissions: William Dickerson, Ph.D.
Although the school does not
consider itself a Special Purpose School, according to the material
send me, it might be just the place for some children with mild emotional
and/or behavioral problems. It is co-ed, works with children ages 8
to 18, has one faculty for every two students, very small classes, and
professes more structure than the typical boarding school. The following
was taken from the material they sent me.
"Its small size and high faculty/student
ratio permit a degree of personal attention and structured activity
that often cannot be found in other programs.
Hampshire Country School is
not a treatment program, but it often works effectively with youngsters
who have had social or behavioral difficulties. It is not a learning
disabilities program, but it may be a good choice for certain students
who have found it hard to learn in other settings. The school works
with, works around, and/or tolerates a variety of idiosyncrasies and
particular needs which may be seriously interfering with a child's adjustment
and progress elsewhere."
