Mission

The Community School is a private non-sectarian co-educational day school serving 30 students in grades 6 to 12. Our students are bright, highly motivated young people from 15 towns in central New Hampshire and western Maine.

We believe learning is a rigorous and joyful pursuit which calls on each individual's talents and interests, and promotes appreciation of the interconnectedness of people and places. At The Community School, our mission is to support students on their individual learning paths within a caring and respectful community.

Designing a Sustainable Community School

CS-model

DSCN1239Sustainable Community School Stewardship Class I (SCS) began the modeling The Community School with 3D computer models using Google earth and Google Sketchup (above).  SCS II took modeling one step further and constructed a physical 3D  model.  The class had a choice of materials, and the consensus was to build an edible landscape (below) — though the nutritional value is suspect…  Please note solar panels and wind turbine in both models.  Farm manager Brady now must see if she can produce a crop of gum drops for next year’s CSA.  The model will be up during the Holiday Fair, Saturday, December 5 and then will be swiftly recycled.
