Testimonials
“We are fortunate to have begun Daniela’s education in your
Nursery program six years ago. As she now enters fourth grade, it is
amazing to see how much she has blossomed into a confident and
self-assured child who eagerly awaits the next day of school.
“Leo and I want to thank you, the Upper School teachers, Mrs.
Kutzelman and the staff at Hampstead Academy for the wonderful work
that you all do. We are so impressed with the excellence and commitment
that you bring to your work at HA. Daniel adjusted nicely to a new
school, he has learned well, he enjoys all of his teachers, and he
has explored some new interests and discovered new passions.
“Every course at Hampstead is taught with the same level of excellence, enthusiasm,
and enriched content. Whether it is Chinese, Art Studio, Math, Spanish, Latin, P.E.,
Science, Drama, Music, Social Studies, or Language Arts, the students and teachers
are engaged and thoughtful. The facilities; student-teacher ratio; and preK-8
configuration are ideal for a learning environment. Teachers are willing to adjust
their curriculum to meet the needs of advanced students. Our family is thrilled with
Hampstead and happily commute from the Seacoast area.”
“Our son and daughter started at Hampstead Academy three years ago. We
were looking for a well rounded curriculum that would take individual needs
into account; foster growth and development through academic success as well
as provide a wide range of special area classroom opportunities. Having a
small classroom environment is such a important criteria for enabling the
teachers to give individual instruction and encouragement on such a consistent
basis. The staff consistently keeps us informed of our children's progress.
They challenge them academically and teach them important social skills that
will be essential to their future success. You can't even compare the curriculum
and classes offered from their other school. Their test scores have increased
yet they have more opportunities in music, drama, art, foreign language and
physical education. My children know everyone in their grade and have to consistently
learn to work with many different personalities on a variety of tasks and
subjects. My only regret is that I did not start them at Hampstead Academy from
the very beginning of their education.”
“We were introduced to Hampstead Academy three years ago because our
son just needed something a little more challenging. Wow... not only did
we find that, but we found a loving, caring, nurturing environment full of
teachers and administrators who cared about him as a person, not just as a
student. We are thrilled to say that he loves Hampstead Academy and all that
it offers. We felt that the Hampstead environment was so special that my oldest
daughter joined the school half way into sixth grade, and our youngest can't
wait to join her siblings this fall. Academics, Drama, Music, Art, Sports,
Dances, Fieldtrips, Summer Programs and very special friendships. My children
have soaked it all up and are better for their time at Hampstead. We feel
lucky to have found you. Thank you!”
“Thank you for creating Hampstead Academy. The school has prepared
me for high school and beyond and has provided me with countless memorable
experiences. Hampstead Academy has given my brother and me more than an
education but a love of learning.”
“My time as a student at Hampstead Academy has left me with many
memorable experiences. The lessons I have learned throughout the years are
numerous.
“Hampstead Academy was an exciting and enjoyable learning
experience that helped prepare me for the even greater academic
challenges of Philips Exeter. During my years there I formed close
friendships with other students that continue to be a part of my everyday
life.”
“Lessons taught here are more than those in textbooks — they
are the lessons that will carry any and every willing student through a
long and prosperous life.”
“At Hampstead Academy you get life lessons. You learn not only math
and science, but also about development and being mature about things.
The classes are great.”
“This is my second year at Hampstead Academy. I think Hampstead
Academy is great because all the teachers and students here are
VERY nice. I liked that we got to take Spanish and Drama, plus all
the other subjects.”
“I like Hampstead Academy because the teachers are really nice
and I learn a lot. I wish I could go there my whole life.”
“Hampstead Academy makes everyone feel special. The teachers treat
every child with respect. Learning is the most exciting part of our day.
Recess is also a great time to play with friends and enjoy our beautiful
playground. I am sure that new students will feel welcome the minute
they get here. They will feel apart of our Hampstead Academy family.” |
To say
"Hampstead Academy" is to say "academia." I could never ask for a greater learning environment; each
teacher offers a unique, individual approach to their material, and classes are relatively small,
encouraging discussion and participation from everyone. This is a society where children learn
from peers, teachers, and
Hampstead Academy is a truly unique school, which provides a genuine
partnership between parent and teacher. The phenomenal teaching staff is
nurturing, caring and extremely involved with each child. The small
classroom size makes it possible for your child to receive the individual
attention they need to thrive. Academically, the learning environment has
been both challenging without being overwhelming. Our school’s focus
on the ‘whole child’ does build self-esteem and confidence in
each child while feeding their hunger for learning.
“We would like to thank you and all your staff for making the
educational process so enjoyable for our kids. Our kids started out
at Hampstead eight years ago and we continue to be impressed with the
quality of the teachers and staff we encounter. Your teachers have
sparked an interest for learning in our children that we are truly
amazed by.”
“Our son will be entering the 7th grade, and I can honestly say
that I am confident that all of the respect & knowledge that he has
gained over the years at Hampstead Academy thus far will carry with
him for a lifetime! It’s obvious that the faculty “want to be there”
and instill the same excitement in the children.”
Hampstead Academy does everything well! The academic reports that we
received were thoughtful and detailed. The recommendations were helpful.
Whenever I had a question, it was easy to reach a teacher. Jane and Julie
were always interested in helping me. I felt like I was included in my
child's learning… thank you.”
Skipping ahead to fifth grade… this was the first year I had a
separate Language Arts teacher. I had grown to love reading and writing
and couldn’t wait to do more. I remember that L.A. was not an easy
subject. This became clear to me when my book report was returned and, for
the first time, I received an 80%. I was heartbroken and figured that it
was the end of my writing. My teacher did not think the same way I did.
She told me to think of it as a lesson, teaching me to work that extra 10%
to achieve my goals. If I put in 110% of my effort, I should be happy
because I did everything to the best of my abilities.”
