"If your children do not keep pace with their companions, perhaps it is because they hear a different drummer.
Let them step to the music they hear, however measured or far away."
(liberally adapted from Henry David Thoreau)

Welcome


Located in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Hunter School is a small, non-profit residential and day school where young boys and girls with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Asperger's Syndrome are nurtured, educated and celebrated.

If your child is bright, but struggling to cope in a world that is unprepared to deal with his or her differences, Hunter may be the right resource for your family.  We teach children ages 5-15 to thrive and excel in the classroom and beyond.

At Hunter, students discover how to:

  • Leverage their unique approach to learning
  • Conquer negative behaviors and build self-esteem
  • Live in harmony with those around them

On this web site you’ll find information about our unique approach to educating children with ADD, ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome.  We are exceptionally skilled at helping children with extreme learning and behavioral challenges.
