Mission Statement

The Hunter school is a private day and boarding school for children in grades kindergarten through eighth grades, with Attention Deficit Disorder (with or without hyperactivity), Aspergers , learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral difficulties and other co-occurring conditions, who have not found success in more traditional educational settings.

The mission of the school is to give students with social and emotional difficulties, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and hyperactive students (ADHD), who may be coded or not coded in special education, a strong sense of dignity, self-esteem, and self-respect for themselves and others.  Our goals are to help the students become aware of their strengths to provide them with strategies, support, and networks necessary for them to succeed.  This school is designed to develop, in the students, a sense of citizenship, character, honesty, and ethics, both in the school and in the community environment, while providing a good academic background.

The Hunter School is based upon holistic philosophy, which recognizes the emotional, mental, and physical needs of the students.  Central to our concept is the employment of whole foods and a vegetarian diet.  Minimally processed foods, without artificial colors and preservatives, are also utilized.
