10/10 would highly recommend this school. I transferred from public school to HA because public school just wasn’t working for me. I was hesitant to start over somewhere new, but the staff and students were incredibly welcoming. I was happy to go to school every day because there was always something fun and exciting to look forward to. We took trips that connected directly to what we were learning, including visiting a café to learn how to run our school café. I also had a great time in the school band and theatre program. The teachers and staff were wonderful. I’m heading to high school now and am so grateful for my time at HA and how it prepared me for the future.
“We have been absolutely thrilled with our experience at this school. Our son is now going into his second year, and we couldn’t be happier with the growth and development we have seen in him over the past year. The support and attention the staff provides is truly exceptional. They do an amazing job of recognizing each child as an individual and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. The quality of education is excellent, but it’s the genuine care and personal attention from the teachers and staff that really stands out.”
“We have been at Hampstead Academy since pre-K when we switched from a different independent school to seek a supportive, engaging, and stimulating learning environment for our son. We have found that and much more at HA, to the point that we’ve decided to continue for kindergarten and beyond despite our original plan being to send our son to private school. All of the teachers have created a wonderful and unique learning environment where our son’s individual needs and interests are really catered for. Hampstead Academy is an investment in our son’s future and happiness- ensuring we give him the strongest foundation possible. Couldn’t recommend it more strongly!”
"Great school!! It provides supportive learning environment, tailored to each child while ensuring learning is at the appropriate grade level. Great classroom ratios with multi-age interactions to increase social skills. Communication has improved with staff/head of school taking into consideration concerns and suggestions to improve processes."
“We’ve had a great experience with both of our children in the pre-k and kindergarten classes. We’re very happy with the skills they’d developed - both benefited from the small class size, incredibly kind environment, and teaching style. Really appreciate that my kids could both read and write by age 5, but more importantly both are very aware of social emotional skills to the point that strangers commented on it!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this school! Our son is going into his second year, and we have been amazed by how much he has grown and developed. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive, and it’s clear that they genuinely care about each child as an individual.”
“Our family is incredibly grateful for the past four years at Hampstead Academy. Our oldest started in kindergarten and just completed third grade, while our youngest began in Pre-K and has now finished first grade. Both of our children loved their teachers, and the individualized attention they received helped them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The sense of community is truly special, and Rebecca, the Head of School, is an exceptional leader who genuinely cares about every student and family.”
“Amazing school. Supportive head of school and all staff. Academics are priority but also social-emotional learning. The experience here is much better than public school and allow children to thrive. There have been some changeover in staff, however, all changes are made with intent to improve the structure, curriculum, or otherwise benefit the children. Behaviors are managed and bullying is not tolerated; negative behaviors are dealt with appropriately by extensively educated staff. HIGHLY recommend.”
