School Curriculum

The Hunter School strives to challenge each and every one of our students.  Students are placed in groups that are designed to emphasize their individual strengths and to improve upon their weaknesses.  Each student will receive instruction in the areas of ready-to-learn, communication skills, personal organization, behavior management, language arts, math, science, social studies, art, and outdoor recreation.

The Hunter School follows the NH Curriculum Frameworks.  We address the subjects through many hands-on activities that place an emphasis on cooperative learning.   Students are evaluated on both their knowledge of the subject areas and their ability to work as a team.  Through peer interaction, the students learn valuable social and leadership skills that will help them to succeed in our increasingly integrated world.  The teaching staff will also address specific IEP goals for each child.
