What New Hampton School does

New Hampton School is a private, nonprofit boarding school founded in 1821 and located in New Hampton, New Hampshire, serving secondary-level students through a residential learning model. The school operates on a 340-acre campus comprising 12 residential houses, with approximately 90% of faculty living on campus and students drawn from over 25 nations. It is positioned as the leading IB World School in New Hampshire, with approximately 85% of eligible students enrolled in IB coursework. Core programs span college-preparatory academics, IB diploma curriculum, interscholastic athletics, arts, and residential life, with the boarding segment representing roughly 80% of total enrollment.

The business model is anchored on tuition revenue, with boarding tuition set at $77,480 per year and day tuition at $46,350 per year. Revenue is supplemented by annual giving, planned giving (estate commitments), and auxiliary income from summer programs that host external camp and program partners on campus during the academic off-season. The school distributes its go-to-market through traditional boarding school admissions channels including domestic feeder schools, international student recruitment agents, and word-of-mouth within alumni and parent networks. Recent enrollment in New Hampshire's Education Freedom Account (EFA) program opens a modest state-subsidy revenue channel for eligible in-state families.

Operationally, the school employs approximately 163 staff across faculty, residential life, athletics, and administration, supporting a student body of an estimated 300-400 pupils. Current capital expansion is underway, with the Husky Drive project scheduled for completion in 2025 and the Williams Pavilion slated for 2026, signaling an ongoing development and fundraising cycle. Financial reporting is not publicly disclosed, consistent with nonprofit independent school practice.
