SURRY VILLAGE CHARTER SCHOOL

What SURRY VILLAGE CHARTER SCHOOL does

Surry Village Charter School (SVCS) is a state-authorized, tuition-free public charter school founded in 2006 in Surry, New Hampshire, operating under 501(c)(3) nonprofit status (Tax ID 20-4802176) and serving approximately 90 students across grades K-8. The school delivers a project-based, multi-age classroom curriculum aligned to Common Core standards, structured as five classrooms — Kindergarten, 1st/2nd combined, 3rd/4th combined, 5th/6th combined, and 7th/8th combined — and is housed across two campuses: the Surry Campus (449 Route 12A, Surry, NH) for grades K-4 and the Keene Campus (146 School St., Keene) for grades 5-8. Adjacent programs include a Before and After School Care program ($6.00/hour, 7:30am–5:00pm), Title I academic support, and Special Education services.

SVCS is governed by a Board of Trustees (Chair Angela Frazier, Vice Chair Victoria Fiorey, Treasurer Anne Guerriero, Secretary Barbara Bryce, Member Jackie Scott) and led by Principal/Head of School Nicole Lackie Stafford. The institution is authorized by the New Hampshire State Board of Education under a charter renewable every five years, with open enrollment across the state via an annual lottery process (online application through Google Forms, February 16 deadline, waitlist thereafter) and preferences for siblings, staff children, and Surry residents.

The school's revenue model rests on three streams: per-pupil state funding of approximately $9,000 per student per year (acknowledged by the school as insufficient to fully operate), community donations processed through a PayPal-hosted donation pipeline, and usage-based fees from the Before and After School Care program. The technology layer is intentionally lightweight — Google Classroom for classroom delivery, Google Workspace for Education for collaboration, and Alma (svcs.getalma.com) as the Student Information System for report cards and staff contacts — with FERPA-compliant data handling. The school's differentiation rests on a village-school community model: intergenerational ties, town elder involvement, local farm partnerships, weekly library visits, and an active Parent Council driving fundraising, volunteering, and family events.

Revenue model

1. Per-Pupil State Funding: SVCS receives approximately $9,000 per pupil per year from the State of New Hampshire through property taxes. This is the primary funding source but is insufficient to fully operate the school, requiring significant community donations.
2. Community Donations: As an underfunded public charter school, SVCS relies heavily on donations from parents and the community. The school has 501(c)(3) status (Tax ID: 20-4802176) allowing tax-deductible contributions.
3. Before and After School Care: The school offers before and after school care at $6/hour, providing extended supervision for working families.

Regional players

• Academy for Science and Design: NH public charter school serving grades 6-12 with a STEM focus. Comparable as another NH state-authorized charter funded via per-pupil state appropriations, but located in a different region with a STEM rather than project-based emphasis.

Direct peers

• Polaris Charter School: NH public charter school offering an integrated, project-based curriculum to elementary and middle school students. Comparable in pedagogy (project-based), grade span (K-8), and NH charter funding model.
• The Beech Hill School: Independent school in Hopkinton, NH serving primary grades with a place-based, community-integrated pedagogy. Comparable in small-scale, multi-age classroom philosophy and community-anchored approach, though private rather than public charter.
• Great Bay Charter School: New Hampshire charter school serving middle and high school grades with a personalized, project-based approach. Directly comparable as a NH-authorized charter operating in the same funding and regulatory environment as SVCS.
• Seacoast Charter School: NH public charter school serving grades K-8 with a similar tuition-free, project-based model. Comparable in scale (small), regulatory framework (state-authorized), and pedagogy (multi-age/project-based).
• Francestown Village Charter School: New Hampshire village-style public charter school serving K-8 with multi-age classrooms and project-based learning. Operates under the same NH State Board of Education authorizer, making it the closest structural and pedagogical peer to SVCS.
• Mountain Village Charter School: NH open-enrollment charter school with a small, community-oriented K-8 model. Comparable in regulatory environment (state-authorized), rural/community orientation, and reliance on lottery admissions.

Broad incumbents

• KIPP New Hampshire: KIPP-affiliated public charter schools in NH operating under the same state authorization framework as SVCS. Comparable as charter-school operators, though materially larger, urban-focused, and network-structured vs. SVCS's independent village model.
