Great Bay eLearning Charter School (H)

What Great Bay eLearning Charter School (H) does

Great Bay Charter School (GBCS) is a public charter school headquartered at 30 Linden Street in Exeter, New Hampshire, serving students in grades K-12 drawn from 27 districts across the state. Established in 2005 and operational since 2006, the school began with a single 9th-grade cohort and has progressively expanded downward, completing its full K-12 vertical in 2025 with the addition of K-2 (following grades 3/4 in 2024). The program is organized into three grade-band schools: Elementary (K-4, class sizes capped at 14 in multi-age K-2 and 3/4 classrooms), Lower School (grades 5-8, capped at 17, with a homeroom/advisory model), and Upper School (grades 9-12, capped at 17, with a college-preparatory curriculum that includes internships and real-life experiences).

The school's core product is a project-based, competency-based, individualized learning model emphasizing social-emotional development alongside academics. Its technology footprint is modest: GBCS uses the Alma Learning Management System (with separate K-8 and 9-12 portals) for student information and a Google Calendar embed for event scheduling, supported by a WordPress-based public website. There is no proprietary technology, no app, and no AI/ML capabilities. GBCS is governed by an independent board of trustees under a charter granted by the State of New Hampshire and is preparing to relocate to a new Exeter campus for the 2026-27 school year.

GBCS operates as a government-funded non-profit educational entity. It generates no tuition revenue; instead, it is funded through public per-pupil allocations from New Hampshire and the 27 participating districts that send students to the school. The school supplements this core funding through donations (Donate page, Givebutter Student-A-Thon), volunteer engagement, and local sponsorships. GTM is community-led: prospective families are reached through the school's website, Facebook and Instagram accounts, school visits, open-enrollment applications via an "Apply Now" portal, and direct admissions contact. No revenue, enrollment, or headcount figures are disclosed in the available data.
