New private school opening in NH |
|
Announcing, a new private school opening in the Manchester area in the fall of 2009! We are founding this school because we saw two very obvious needs in NH. The need for more options/choices for families in private schooling and the need for a school for the gifted. Please contact us if you would like to make a donation or be further involved.

The Scholars' Academy is a private, independent day school dedicated to providing a comprehensive educational program that serves the needs of academically gifted students ages five to twelve. We recognize that gifted students have unique interests, needs, and talents. Our mission is to provide an optimal environment for the development of our gifted students' intellectual, artistic, social and emotional abilities and to honor their diversity through a research based, individualized curriculum that inspires curiosity, personal growth and academic achievement.

Parents of 166,000 students could face criminal charges |
|
Posted: March 05, 2008 9:11 pm Eastern By Bob Unruh © 2008 WorldNetDaily A "breathtaking" ruling from a California appeals court that could subject the parents of 166,000 students in the state to criminal sanctions will be taken to the state Supreme Court. The announcement comes today from the Pacific Justice Institute, whose president, Brad Dacus, described the impact of the decision as "stunning." "The scope of this decision by the appellate court is breathtaking," he said. "It not only attacks traditional homeschooling, but also calls into question homeschooling through charter schools and teaching children at home via independent study through public and private school." "If not reversed, the parents of the more than 166,000 students currently receiving an education at home will be subject to criminal sanctions," he said. WND broke the story of the ruling against Phillip and Mary Long of Los Angeles. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=58137 |

|
The Union Leader
Friday, Mar. 7, 2008 ON WEDNESDAY, Concord's attitude toward New Hampshire's chartered public schools demonstrated a dramatic shift. The valuable incubators of alternative public education might survive previous attempts to smother them after all. It looks as though Gov. John Lynch will be given the final say. |
