a private comprehensive secondary institution offering the highest
quality curriculum of studies to the residents of Northwood, Strafford,

-
meet high academic standards
- support excellence in the acquisition of literacy, technology,
and computational skills
- place the needs of the individual student first, maintaining
small teacher/student ratios
- provide a strong foundation for post-secondary education,
employment, and life-management skills
- reflect and meet the needs of students in a multi-cultural
society.
2.
Create an environment that fosters an appreciation of:
-
life-long learning
- critical thinking
- personal responsibility
- self-respect
- multiple aspects of knowledge
3.
Support mutual respect for peers, faculty,
administration, community, and the environment through example,curriculum,
community service projects, and community involvement within
the school.
4.
Continuously assess, improve, and develop
curriculum in response to the ever-changing world.
The
Academy offers a curriculum of studies, which is consistent with
these premises, and the laws of the State of New Hampshire. This
curriculum, woven into a coordinated course of study, will enable
all students to realize their potential and prepare them for their
chosen endeavors upon graduation. The expertise of faculty and
staff permits course offerings to develop the full potential of
all students, whether they be educationally advantaged or challenged.
It is then incumbent on the students to be academically diligent,
consistent in attendance, and positive in attitude to successfully
complete their chosen course of studies.
